Congrats: SLLUG celebrates 15 years

Here’s the email from Marc Christensen:

Craziness: LFNW, OLPC and UTOS, oh my!

It’s been a crazy month here in my little part of the world. My favorite organization, the Utah Open Source Foundation announced it’s conference theme, dates and location. I’m really excited about this year’s possibilities and I keep hearing good things that people want to do during UTOSC 2009.
Now: Life has been hectic, [...]

Mind Maps: The Utah Open Source Foundation

The Utah Open Source Foundation “Mind Map”
After creating the Fedora Project Mind Map, I was better able to understand how UTOS was currently structured.  I was able to put together the main pieces pretty quickly, although it seems there are several gaps in my thought process still.  For that reason, I’m opening the UTOS structure [...]

Utah Open Source Conference 2008

I’ve been very busy this last two weeks updating pages and working on finalizing details for UTOSC 2008, held August 28-30, 2008.  For instance, the Fedora booth is coming along nicely.  For a conference of around 400, we should have a pretty good booth turnout.  I had Jeffrey Tadlock, Paul Frields (who’s also keynoting btw) [...]

What I’ve been up to lately.

Well, its been more than two weeks since my last post about FUDCon.  I figure its high time I posted something about what’s been going on in my neck of the woods.  Things have been quite busy and are bound to continue at this phrenetic pace for a bit longer.

Utah Fedora/Ubuntu Linux Release Party Outtakes

Well, usually I forget to take pictures, because either A) I forget my camera [I brought it this time] or 2) I get wrapped up in the event and forget to bring it with me.  But this release party, I plain just forgot to charge my batteries for my camera, oops!
Fortunately, I was able to [...]

The OLPC Deserves Better!

The following two articles were published in the past couple days.  When they were published and made known to me, I was saddened:
Report: OLPC may eventually switch from Linux to Windows XP
Nicholas Negroponte on Sugar and One Laptop Per Child
It appears, that Greg DeKoenigsberg responded (it appears) to these two articles with a great rebuttal [...]

RE: Applebee’s meetings should never be this fun!

All I’ve got to say is “I had nothing to do with starting it, but it happened anyway.  And I had fun!”
Cheers,
Herlo
PS - I’m awaiting myspace friend approval for those in the know.

Being “off-the-road” has its challenges

I will be home for the entire week next week, which is the first time that’s happened this month. Not that I am complaining, but once I get home I have a very long laundry list of items to complete and only 6.5 days to complete it in until I go back on the [...]
