Spouting Shite

Anybody for lunch???

I have been talking to several people (Alex Kavanagh, Codeworks Connect, members of the AWS user group and the Newcastle Open Source Network) over the past few weeks about trying to build some awareness of Linux, open source software and my favorite topic, cloud computing.

We have been playing with a few ideas, namely:

1. A version of GoOpen for the North East
2. A FOSSCamp event on the theme of the very popular BarCamp concept
3. A ‘hackathon’ or ‘mashup’ type event

Some of us are meeting up for a sandwich at 13:00 on Thursday 26th June at Panis cafe in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

I hope that we can get a few interested people together to throw around a few ideas. The whole concept is in a very early stage so we would like to invite ANY interesed parties to attend.

If you cant attend please feel free to add your comments to this blog entry and I will raise your comments at the meeting.
