As part of my effort to help out folks coming in for the Utah Open Source Conference 2009, we have filled up our household with out-of-towners. However, when I asked my awesome sweetie , Jennifer, about food, she had this reply:

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.

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) [...]

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 [...]
