Cool! I have another engagement scheduled for this time, but this looks to be quite fun. I might be able to check it out during its opening hours. Anyone considering attending this event?
Looks like a forum thread opened up for this here: http://lug.bu.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?id=31
Thanks for the heads up, Pam. On Thu, 11 Sep 2008, Pamela Andrews wrote:
Would BU LUG be interested in this? Best, Pam ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Hi, I thought there might be some folks over there who would be interested in connecting with other Boston area GNU/Linux users. Perhaps you could forward this event announcement around or post it in your news section? The event's free and I think you'd find some kindred spirits here. Cheers, Deborah BOSTON, Massachusetts, USA -- Thursday, September 11th, 2008 -- It's Saturday and a roomful of people are advising each other on modifying their mobile devices, optimizing their GNU/Linux systems and organizing for software freedom. But it's not a room full of experts -- at least not mostly. Artists, activists, students and others want the freedom to do anything they want with their computers and they're here to learn new tricks and garner shortcuts from each other. The Free Software Foundation is hosting a Boston event to honor Software Freedom Day, an international holiday that was observed on every continent but Antarctica last year. The FSF will be one of more than 200 teams hosting events around the world. Boston's celebration is especially notable because this is where the free software movement began. Richard M. Stallman, FSF founder and president, started work at MIT on the free software GNU operating system twenty-five years ago. The event takes place on September 20th from 10am-4pm, and participation is open to the public. More info about the schedule is available at http://groups.fsf.org/index.php/Software_Freedom_Day_in_Boston_2008, and RSVPs to membership@xxxxxxx are appreciated. The location is in Chinatown at the Encuentro 5 Community Center (http://www.encuentro5.org/), 33 Harrison Ave, 5th floor, Boston, MA 02111.
