From szabgab at gmail.com Wed Feb 9 01:56:16 2011 From: szabgab at gmail.com (Gabor Szabo) Date: Wed, 9 Feb 2011 11:56:16 +0200 Subject: [VPM] Fwd: Get involved in LinuxFest Northwest 2011 In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: hi, based on the web site and the activity on the mailing list, Victoria.pm seems to be quite dormant these days. I wonder if there are people there who would like to wake it up. LinuxFest Northwest will take place on 30 April - 1 May 2011 in Bellingham, Washington, USA. It looks like a cool event and not too far from Victoria. I am trying to get the near-by Perl mongers to join forces, offer a few Perl related talks and setup a Perl booth at the event. Are you interested using this as an excuse to get together with some other Perl Mongers in Victoria? regards ? Gabor ?http://szabgab.com/ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: LFNW 2011 Date: Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 1:30 AM Subject: [Fest-list] Get involved in LinuxFest Northwest 2011 To: fest-list at peakserv.com For the 12th year, LinuxFest Northwest 2011 is happening April 30th and May 1st. LinuxFest Northwest is a community event, organized by a team of volunteers. Its success depends on participation. We are asking the Free&Open Source Software community to get involved. *Present* at the Fest on a project that you use or contribute to. Share your experiences with potential users, connect with other contributors, or find collaborators on a new idea. Presentations add value for everyone involved, including you. If you don't want to present, perhaps you know of someone who could. Or if you have something to say that won't take an hour, check out the Lightning Talks session. For more information, email present at linuxfestnorthwest.org. *Exhibit* and get your messages to a select audience. Whether you represent a F&OSS non-profit, a college or a company that sells to technical users, the low key exhibits are effective marketing. Exhibitors are a key component of the community. For more information, email exhibit at linuxfestnorthwest.org. *Sponsor* LinuxFest Northwest to show visible support for the F&OSS community and receive valuable exposure in return. The Fest attracts attendees from California to British Columbia, and has international recognition. Free admission depends on funding and support provided primarily by sponsors. If your company depends on open source technology (no matter where it is located), please consider an LFNW sponsorship as a way to give back. New this year, individual supporters can pre-pay discretionary Fest expenses online. For more information, email sponsor at linuxfestnorthwest.org. There are buttons on the front page of linuxfestnorthwest.org to join in the effort. In past years, Fest organizers have received information and feedback from area User Groups and attendees about ways to improve. The online forums (under the Community tab on the front page) are intended to generate discussions and make connections as the Fest approaches. If there is a subject that you would like to hear about, please post to the ?Sessions? forum, and if you'd like to present, that's a place to get some ideas. Please help *Spread the Word*. Let people know that you are part of LinuxFest Northwest through social sites, blogs, Twitter, forums, mailing lists. Word of mouth is the main way that people discover LFNW. Do someone a favor; tell them about the Low Stress Fest. This message will also be sent to the LFNW Fest-List. If you are subscribed at the LFNW website AND the Fest-List, you will receive both copies. Most communication for LFNW 2011 will be done through the website, although some messages will also be distributed to Fest-List. There are unsubscribe instructions at both locations.

I can't make it this year unfortunately. The VLUG had a member whose brother was a private pilot who flew four of us over for the day, very handy; let me know if you want details, it was quite cost effective and incredibly fast. -- Peter Scott Pacific Systems Design Technologies http://www.perldebugged.com/ http://www.perlmedic.com/ http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0137001274 http://www.oreillyschool.com/courses/perl3/
