Hey Martin, I was excited to learn that the SFD corresponds with my the weekend my DAD can cover the shop for me, and I have to come to Boston for a bead show. How formal is the structure? I imagined a kinda street fair kinda thing, but it looks far more formal, so I don't know i can just crash in at 2 in the afternoon. What's your experience Thanks Felicia <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 12:31 AM, Martin Owens <<a href="mailto:doctormo@gmail.com">doctormo@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hey guys, This is just a reminder that I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at Boston's Software Freedom Day party in China Town: Software Freedom Day (<a href="http://softwarefreedomday.org/" target="_blank">http://softwarefreedomday.org/</a>) is an international holiday dedicated to celebrating software freedom. New to GNU/Linux or just looking for some more tips on getting the most out of free software? We promise you'll learn something important if you attend. I am also writing to invite Boston locals to our SFD event. Boston SFD will be a day-long public event focused on celebrating software freedom. Last year we had an awesome event in Boston at Encuentro 5 in Chinatown (<a href="http://www.encuentro5.org/home/" target="_blank">http://www.encuentro5.org/home/</a>) and we'll be returning there this year. The festivities start at 10am and we'll finish at about 5:00p. I hope you can join us because Walter Bender, the founder and executive director of Sugar Labs, is our featured speaker. He'll be talking about "Turtle Art," the free software platform that's part of the Sugar operating system. It started shipping on the OLPC in 2007 and is intended as stepping stone to LOGO for kids.
