Ubuntu Hour: Friday, January 4, 2013

Friday, January 4, 2013 (Happy New Year everyone!) I will be hosting Ubuntu hour, a social gathering for those interested in Ubuntu Linux, or Linux in general. The event will take place at Egg Roll King at 6pm. Please note the time change! Egg Roll King is located at 85 Courtland Avenue East.

If you can Register/RSVP on the Ubuntu Loco Team portal here http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2158/detail/ it will help Bob and I tell Tony how many to expect. The food at Egg Roll King is great, so we often stay longer than an hour.

Please note a couple of sites still indicate we meet at Misty Mountain. This has been incorrect information for several months. Please check the loco page for accurate details.

Update on Software Freedom Day 2011 for Kitchener/Waterloo

Software Freedom Day 2011 Kitchener/Waterloo

Software Freedom Day 2011 Kitchener/Waterloo

We now have 2 confirmed speakers for Software Freedom Day, 2011, which takes place between 10am and 4pm stretched between a couple of buildings at The Working Centre. I am really stoked because Raul Suarez is always an amazing presenter and the presentations he did in 2009 for Software Freedom Day were not only universal, but darn convincing. Stefan Chirila has joined us as a new speaker for 2011. I’m really excited to have Stefan on board because he’s not only a staunch free software advocate, but an amazing photographer.

We’re still looking for other presenters. I’ve contacted a few more people and Paul,  our co-coordinator for 2011 has contacted a few more people, but we still have a few slots open for free software-related presentations (we’re talking software freedom, not banner-ware). We’re also looking for people to help out with the Install-fest and to get word around about the event. Posters will be available soon on the TWC Kitchener/Waterloo SFD 2011 wiki page.
