libre software & opensource install/hack/project fest Aug 2008

Our first monthly Code & Install fest!

---

To really take advantage of having such a diverse, knowledgeable, and social group of Linux users we needed to have time to work and share. Come to the first monthly Code and Install fest with a computer and a dream. Everyone has a goal, sharing the work with community is what GNU tools, Linux and Open tools are founded on. . Plan to attend whether you have software you want to run, hardware to install Linux on, a software project you are planning or working on, or just want to help others.

August:
