Software Freedom Day - Summary help

Brenda Wallace — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 11:33:24 +1200

The task has fallen to me to summarise Software Freedom Day to send away to the parent organisation.

The one problem is, there were 5 hackfest clusters, 3 barcamp rooms, 2 alcoves, 2 demo screens, 1 OLPC test corner and 2 long rows of installfest tables. Oh, and barristas and a some buffet tables too. -- I just couldn't be in all those places at once..

So, please, send in the summaries of the sessions you went to - the code you wrote, the ideas you discussed, the new things you encoutered, what you demoed, and whether you also changed you default shell to zsh yet.

Blog links, oneliners, or multi paragraph summaries.

James Stewart — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 12:57:04 +1200

Hey guys,

I have spent the past week in Wellington based at the Silicon Welly office and have been loving it - there are so many people that are encouraging and cool in Wellington!

I am currently based in Christchurch but aiming to move here asap (October 2008) and keen to meet as many people in the NZ IT scene as possible - I am making some great contacts and love to talk about ideas and how we can work together and cross promote etc

The site I have been working on is http://www.artklick.co.nz which is an online gallery for New Zealand artists to profile and sell their artwork. I have been working on developing relationships with all of the creative tertiary institutes and they are all really interested in working together which is great.

Already have a growing list of design changes for Art Klick but if you have any spare time and would like to have a look and give me your feedback that would be awesome.

Please feel free to contact me on james@artklick.com about anything - great community!

GGG and RMS - what a night!

Jo Booth — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 08:12:11 +1200

I'm still buzzing after 10 hours of Gadgets, Games and Geeks - and I'd love to hear your reactions. It'll take a while for Google to index all your blog reviews, photos and video - so please do link them here, and I'll include them in our official event review.

As for the Filibuster Films video - we should have a teaser trailer out shortly - followed by the full GGG production - including Richard Stallman.
If you're wanting to help with transcription of the RMS seminar - please let UP know - mailto:jo-RMS@UP.org.nz - we'll send you some audio to transcribe.

Just about to upload/offload my few photos - you'll find them tagged with GGG and UP (and UPnz) on flickr (thanks qwandor for yours already!
