Software Freedom Day: What I’ll be Doing!
So tomorrow is Software Freedom Day. And because I’ve been a big slacker this year, I didn’t get the time to set up an event as I had hoped. However, because others in our community are awesome and didn’t want to see this day go completely to the Microsofties and non-free software folks, there’s going [...]
UTOSC 2009: Breakfast is served!
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!

Mind Maps: The Utah Open Source Foundation
The Utah Open Source Foundation “Mind Map”

Fortunately, I was able to [...]
