SxSW 2009 Panel Picker

Rho — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 02:07:59 +0000

If you haven't seen it on d.o (though you probably have), then I encourage you to check out gdemet's panel picker post. Vote for them all and lets try and increase the Drupal presence at SxSW.

I have a blast every year, and this will make it that much better.

Drupal Meetup at BarCamp Austin 3 - Saturday, March 8th

Aaron Stanush@drupal.org — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 03:41:19 +0000

When: 5:00pm-6:00pm (tentatively)
Where: GSD&M Idea City, Omega Lab (2nd floor)

If you will be in Austin for SXSW and you love Drupal, come show it at BarCamp Austin 3! There are lots of rooms and times available, so the schedule is very flexible. There should be plenty of time and space for anyone to present, maybe multiple.

At 6pm, put down those laptops, because it's time to chow down on some top-secret "'Dillo Dogs" courtesy of Wahoo's and drink some tasty beer from Austin's very own Independence Brewing Co. Sign up, let's do this thing!

Attention Drupalers: Will you be in Austin for SXSW 2008?

If you haven't heard, BarCamp Austin 3 will be taking place at GSD&M Idea City in Austin, TX on Saturday, March 8th, 2008. This event is FREE to everyone and will feature a wide variety of presentations, demos, and entertainment.

The schedule is currently being assembled, but we have secured the Bonnie Hunter room which features a round table presentation/discussion area and seating for 50 people. We can have the room for 1 hour on Saturday, March 8th, so the next thing to decide is which time slot we want.

US patent reform and open source: Who is the best candidate for the OS community?

Todd Nienkerk — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 18:07:24 +0000

My friend whurley has launched an online poll to bring open source to the attention of politicians -- specifically, the presidential candidates. He, like many of us, is troubled by the recent calls for patent reform put forth by larger companies that may wind up blocking innovation and threatening open source-oriented companies and contractors.

You can view the poll here and vote for which candidate you believe is best for the open source community. (Don't worry: "None of them" is an option!)

Assume for a moment that a knowledge of open source is prerequisite (or integral) in solving issues like patent reform. Who would you vote for? In other words, who would be the best candidate for the open source community?

The more people who vote, the more of an impact this question can make.
