SFD 08 - Texas State
Software Freedom Day 2008 is fast approaching. And Texas State is celebrating a day before everyone else on Friday, September 19th, 2008!
Don't know what Software Freedom Day is? It is a worldwide event celebrating everything that is free and open source in life.
The mindset of open source is taking over. You can see it everywhere: OS's, Browsers, Games, Text Books, even large organisms like Wikipedia thrive on the the wave of information that the internet has made available. I see Software Freedom day as a recognition of the changes that are sweeping over the world. Borders are being torn down while society is sharing, learning, and profiting from these collaborations of data. Come and participate in the phenomenon that we so often take for granted.
When: September 19, 2008: 5PM to 7PM
Where: Texas State University, San Marcos Texas, LBJ Student Center 3.5-1
Free Food, Free Drinks, SWAG
Demos, Guest Speakers, and getting to know the individuals you see everyday in class, but didn't think they were as interested in Open Source as you are. Both AITP and EXE Texas State Chapters will be present at the event.
Sun Microsystems plays a major role in Open Source development, and is the largest contributer to to the Open-Source Community in the world. Additionally SUN provides the food and drinks. Thanks SUN!
The festivities continue with a LAN party down at my place. All are welcome until the circuit blows.
Enjoy,
Taylor Groves
