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:
21:37 <herlo> did you say you were willing to cook breakfast for us during [...]
Hack Night Reborn: UTOS-ConMan needs some features
So, you don’t know what I am talking about? Not sure where this is all leading? Well, if you are interested in learning Python and Django or are an artistic hacker, we need you.
Last year, we started a project called utos-conman. This project in about 3-5 months became the system that ran the speaker approval [...]
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.
Now: Life has been hectic, [...]

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 [...]
Mind Maps: The Fedora Project
Recently, I’ve been plagued with trying to come up with an organizational model for the Utah Open Source Foundation and it’s relationship to the Utah Open Source Conference. This is in addition to the new Non-Profit structure we’re building.

Over the last few days

My Son Shaun lost his fourth tooth this past week. He was so excited about it, he called me as soon as it happened. Unfortunately, I wasn’t there to experience it, but I’ve been assigned to [...]
UTOSC 2008: Day 2
Day 2 seemed to be even smoother than day 1, much of the time, running around putting out little fires, but not too many. I was the room manager for Paul’s Fedora Remix talk, quite enjoyed that, even though most of it I already knew.
I also got to enjoy both keynotes today. Howard Tayler was [...]
UTOSC 2008: Day 1
So I was running pretty crazy last night at the first night of UTOSC 2008, but I wasn’t that crazy. Things went smoothly, I got most of the swag for the Fedora booth and enjoyed Paul’s talk.
As the organizer (among others), I tend to be running around a lot, but this year, I’ve already seen [...]
