NYLXS Planning Retreat at Lake Placid
NYLXS Planning Retreat 2004
Early in 2002, David Sugar and Ruben Safir, fresh from their trip to LSM in France, wondered out loud why New York didn't have an event similar to LSM. They informally began planning at this time a new Free Software Expo worth of New York City, dubbing it in time, Freedom-IT.
Plans had begun to shape up in 2004 so NYLXS went on a retreat to Lake Placid in order to discuss more detailed plans. They invited the entire Free Software community, and paid for a van and hotel rooms for the trip from New York to Lake Placid. The meeting was so successful that the board is considering a bi-yearly out of town convention for just such purposes.

"Yeah - I write Free Software...so SUE ME"
"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."

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."
