Summary
Project Night/Hangout Night
Abstract
In the spirit of summer, we're going
to make our August 7 meeting a bit
more free form with opportunities to
get (and give) help, as well as to
socialize with other users of free &
open source software.
You are encouraged to bring your
laptop.
If you are working on a project, e.g.
getting a GNU/Linux distro up & running,
learning some new software,
configuring privacy protection,
trying to configure something, etc.,
bring it with you to work on.
We'll try to match you up with other
attendees who might be able to help.
If you email me in advance with your
issue, I'll try my best to have someone
available to assist.
If you don't have a specific project,
please still come to socialize and
help others. I'd also love to hear
your ideas for future meetup events.
Even in today's virtual society, there
is no substitute for meeting face to
face.
This is also a good opportunity to
bring a friend. Is there someone in
your life that you think could benefit
from switching to free software?
Everyone! ;-) Invite them along and
give them an opportunity to speak to
other users and hear from different
perspectives.
Transportation & Parking
The Akamai office is a short walk from the Kendall
Square T stop and other public transportation.
Metered parking should be available near our
location.
Talks & Lightening Talks
Want to give a talk or lightening talk at
one of our meetups? Please email me.
Lightening talks can be very short and
informal. Perhaps there is a project
you want the group's feedback on or
something cool you'd like to share or
a problem you want to bring more
attention to...we'd love to hear from you.
