Counting down to Pengicon

,----[ Quote ]
| It's only a few more days until Penguicon, 
| North America's finest science fiction and 
| open source software convention. I'm not 
| only psyched to be attending, but I'm 
| flattered beyond words to be one of this 
| year's Guests of Honor. Penguicon runs from 
| April 30 to May 2 at the Marriott in Troy, 
| MI.

On bootstrapping a community-run FOSS event

,----[ Quote ]
| On Saturday, April 10th, I was in Austin 
| Texas for the inaugural Texas Linux Fest 
| (TXLF), a community-run FLOSS conference. 
| The idea to stage the show arose last 
| August during OSCON, picked up steam in the 
| fall, and in the end a little under 400 
| people turned out â including speakers and 
| volunteers â which most considered a 
| successful number for a first year event.

Freedom movement

,----[ Quote ]
| With over 1,200 students participating, the
| conference exhibited the language of free
| software while not losing sight of the purely
| technical aspects of GNU/Linux. Coding
| sessions, handled by experts in GNU/Linux-
| based programming, exposed students to the
| free software culture that thrives in the
| Linux User Groups â popularly called Lugs,
| these form the basic units of the free
| software movement â in academic institutions
| and among software professionals across the
| country.
