This coming Weekend we are going to Lake Placid in ordere to do just that.
I want to make a Freedom-IT conference every winter there, to allow people
to do an UConference ;) and to ski and mengle. Your expertise will be
most welcome and I'd be interest in your feedback.
Of course, what is the first step to getting funding?
Freedom-IT as orgininally conceived will be conference and education based.
The idea will be to get the best people in Free Software, preferably leaders of
their projects, to do technical presentations and training on the use and
development of their projects. If we could get Corperate sponsorship to
fly people in, that would be HUGE start.

"The tremendous problem we face is that we are becoming sharecroppers to our own cultural heritage -- we need the ability to participate in our own society."
"> I'm an engineer. I choose the best tool for the job, politics be damned.<
You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attacted at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
