  Software Freedom Day - Summary help

  22 September 2008 at 11:33am

  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.
