Last Updated on Wednesday, 22 April 2009 12:53 Written by Brian Wednesday, 22 April 2009 12:52

This past Saturday I made the trip out to Rochester for the BarCamp being held there. Much to my surprise it was very FOSS oriented and friendly. I got the chance to meet up with a few fellow Ambassadors / Fedorians : Karlie Robinson ; Charles Profitt ; Luke Macken ; and Remy DeCausemaker.

Karlie held a talk on the OLPC and the 4th Grade Math Project which was ulimately the reason I attended the event and there was quite a bit of interest in the project from BarCampers.

Luke and Remy did a talk on civx.us – an Open Source Public Government Information System

I also attended a talk on OpenStreetMap which I found quite interesting.

Due to a previous commitment I was unable to stay for the entire event but I am plan on and look forward to attending the next event.

There have been quite a few discussions and meetings recently in regards to FAD planning. There has been a lot of good progress and great ideas coming out of these. With time getting close, we are looking at finalizing the Agenda and Schedule for FADNA shortly.

If you are a North American Ambassador I would ask that you take a moment to look at what we have come up with so far and a “tentative” schedule of events located at the FADNA2008 wiki page. If you have anything to add feel free to do so.

This also applies to anyone who wants to, but may not be able to physically attend the event, as we are looking at ways to include and support remote attendees.

Clint Savage (herlo) also created this cool looking badge for FADNA attendees.

Anyone that is interested in registering for the Central Pennsylvania Open Source Conference 2008 can now do so.

The cost is $29. This should be a good event as I have attended previous events held by the Lug that is organizing this event and they know what they are doing and are a very organized and good group of individuals.

Planned attendees from the Fedora Project are GregDeKoenigsberg , KarlieRobinson , and myself

If anyone is planning on flying in for this, I may be able to provide transportation either from the airport (Harrisburg International Airport) or hotel if needed. Just let me know.

Space is limited so register today
