I’m taking a quick minute to post some of my thoughts on the Utah Open Source Conference going on down here at the Open Source Technology Center at Novell.
So far the conference has been a big success. We have a large turnout which, of course, we’re really excited about. Everyone seems to really be enjoying things.
As one of the volunteer coordinators I haven’t had time, sadly, to sit in on many of the presentations–coordinating a conference is a lot of work! I did sit in on Clint Savages “What is Utah Open Source”, which was very good. We’re trying to build up the business, education and technical communities via the use of Open Source technologies and ideals.
Last night I was presented with the Open Source Award for contribution to the Open Source community in Utah. It is a real honor, and I was very much surprised. Thanks goes to everyone in our community for working so hard together for such an overall success.
This evening I will be running the Guru Labs Troubleshooting challenge, which I’m excited about. Guru Labs is a great place to work and we offer some of the best Linux training in the Industry. If you’re interested in Linux training, whether personally or for your business contact us!
For everyone that didn’t make it this year you should really make time next year. It’s going to be even bigger. Based on the initial success of this conference I can only imagine how good things will be next year!
