June 1, 2009 No comments yet
I recently received notice of a number of interesting events coming up this week that I wanted to share with you all. They are all free or fairly affordable ($15 is the most expensive). I thought they might be of interest to people wanting to be progressive and/or expand their horizons with free and open events based on community building, sustainability and innovation in open-source software that you should enjoy. If you have any tips of upcoming events send them to [email protected].

This event is tonight (June 1st, 2009) running from 7 PM to 11 PM with the folowing breakout of schedule:
