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.
