I'd be interested if there was a hackathon.<br>If the meeting ends up not being in the city, I am offering to have a hackathon at Panera or somewhere else with free wireless with anyone who is interested.<br><br>I'm open to suggestions, but I'd like to work on this:

<br>BarCamp style meeting where anything goes. Here are some possible<br>topics:<br><br> * Getting started developing free software (lightning talks maybe)<br> * How so you use Free Software? (it would be cool to get people in
<br>the industry to say what their developed products look like)<br> * Emacs vs. Vim<br> * What other Free Software tools exist (i.e. XMMP instead of oscar)<br> * Free Software beyond the computer. (Mobile and Embedded for
<br>example: OpenMoko and Neuros come to mind)<br> * Threats to freedom: Treacherous computing, Digital Restrictions<br>Management, RFID<br><br>Another idea: get sponsored! It would rock to get someone like<br>Google to provide food and drink (may need to listen to their talks
<br>though) or some other Chicago area company providing bandwidth. Maybe<br>some company can contribute to the the LoCo or buy me a laptop to work<br>on :)<br><br>--<br>Best,<br>Freddy Martinez<br><br>--<br>Ubuntu-us-chicago mailing list
