        Ohai! And so we meet again. This month, we added blogs to Allura (the open sourced code, aka SF.net beta), and there were some awesome new releases from SF.net projects (noted below.) Tux Paint is our woot-worthy POTM for June. We also wanted to let you know about a Cloud Virtual Trade
Show we're hosting with Slashdot, where you can win an iPad or TouchPad and learn about the cloud in one fell swoop. It's tomorrow, and it's free. Details below.
        
        
        Coming up, we'll be presenting at:
        
           Europython, June 20-24 in Florence
           osbridge, June 21-24 in Portland, OR
           Mongo DC conference, June 27 in Washington, DC
        
        As always, we'd love to see you.   
        
        And as a reminder, if you have any open source events to add to our calendar, please let me know!
        
        Cheers!
