Ontario Linux Fest 2008

Tue, 10/28/2008 - 13:59 — rw

I'm amazed by the international reach of Open Source events and the Open Source community.

The second (now annual!) Ontario Linux Fest was last weekend and it was a blast. I had a wonderful time mixing and mingling with sponsors, speakers and delegates from as near as Toronto and as far as Ottawa, Montreal, Rochester, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Fort Collins, San Francisco and Nizhny Novgorod Russia.

Wait. From Russia?

Yes.

Ontario Linux Fest, Year Two!

Sun, 10/05/2008 - 16:03 — rw

The second, now annual, Ontario Linux Fest is coming up in just a few short days. You are going to love the line up of speakers and exhibitors this year. And you'll have fun meeting folks interested in all of the projects that will be represented at OLF this year. This is a full day (plus two social nights) full of Free Software Goodness.

Toronto. Saturday, 25 October, 2008. Be there!

Cyclists love OpenStreetMap.org

OpenStreetMap allows people to map their community and show the things that are important to them. It is a collection of tools and data to collect information and create beautiful maps that you can use in creative and unexpected ways. There are more people contributing maps data to OpenStreetMap every week. In September of 2008 there were over 60,000 contributors world wide.

Many of those contributors are cyclists and are active in their communities. Why is that?
