Penguin Day Austin

Penguin Day gives nonprofits an opportunity to explore free and open source software. Austin will have its first Penguin Day on April 28 at Ventana del Soul - specifics are posted at http://effaustin.org/penguin/. We need knowledgeable presenters for the topics on the agenda, which is posted at http://effaustin.org/penguin/agenda.html. If you want to take ownership of a topic or help with a breakout group, please email me (jonl at polycot.com).

We also need help getting the word out to nonprofits. Their cost is $150 if the NPO's budget is over 500K, $90 if it's 500K or less. This cost includes breakfast and lunch, and is used to defray expenses.

Penguin Day is presented by the nonprofit Aspiration (http://www.aspirationtech.org/) with the help of local cosponsor EFF-Austin (http://effaustin.org). The national Penguin Day site is at http://penguinday.org/. The local site (just launched) is at http://www.austinpenguinday.org/, and the local wiki is at http://www.austinpenguinday.org/wiki/
