[Derry] Thursday March 16th, Stallman and Perens in Belfast: FOSS Means Business

[Ciaran O'Riordan]

Hi all, I meant to pass on this info sooner, but hopefully yous all have it
from other sources.

Next Thursday, March 16th, is the FOSS Means Business conference.  There is
no admission fee, and teas, coffees and food are also without cost.

The keynotes are to be made by Richard Stallman and Bruce Perens.

...and there will be presentations by Zaheda Bhorat of Google, Les Timms of
Open Source Academy, and Owen Hughes of Oracle and plenty of breaks to talk
with the other people there.

The event starts at 10:00am and ends at 5:30pm.  Please pass this
information on to anywhere you think we mightn't have reached.

Registration is not mandatory and there is no entrance fee, but to
give us a rough number for how many teas, coffees, chairs, and how
much food is needed, it would be helpful if people who are coming
would add their name to this wiki page:

There's information about travelling to Belfast at:

http://foss-means-business.org/Travel


And the day's agenda is at:

I don't know what sort of numbers would be necessary in order to say that
this is the biggest free software event the island has hosted, but it will
certainly be a contender.

The website is a wiki, so if there are any questions about the event or
about travelling, the site is one option.
