Posted by Cory Doctorow, September 13, 2007 3:57 PM |
Toronto's Seneca College is throwing its sixth annual Free Software/Open Source convention -- admission is as cheap at $20, and this year's speaker lineup includes Bob Young, Co-founder, RedHat and CEO and Founder, Lulu.com; Ross Turk, Community Manager, Sourceforge.net; Chris Blizzard, One Laptop Per Child Project; and Marc Kwiatkowski, Senior Software Engineer, Facebook.

Welcome to Seneca's 6th Annual
Free Software and Open Source Symposium
October 25-26th, 2007 - 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Seneca@York Campus, Toronto

The Symposium is a two-day event aimed at bringing together educators, developers and other interested parties to discuss common free software and open source issues, learn new technologies and to promote the use of free and open source software. At Seneca College, we think free and open source software are real alternatives.

Want to present? The deadline for presentation proposals for this year's symposium is September 1.

To go to this, I'd have to drive through Erie PA and Buffalo NY...

Anybody know if those areas are snowed in by the end of October?

No, there shouldn't have snow by then (although stranger things have happened)!

Snow is possible, but they're unlikely to be snowed-in.

"Want to present? The deadline for presentation proposals for this year's symposium is September 1."
