Next week is the NECC 2009 annual conference, that will be held in Washington, DC from June 28th to July 1st.

I'll be there all week long, giving two sessions, which are

  • Great Open Source Programs You Can Start Using Right Away
  • 10 Common Pitfalls on the Road to Open Source

Those sessions are going to be held in the Open Source Lab.

We are providing the infrastructure to run the lab, which will be an LTSP-Cluster installation (like the ones we do for school boards and school districts), with 60 Eee Box Mini Desktop, gladly provided by Asus, that will run as thin clients.

I'm looking forward to meet a lot of people there, and discuss with.

There will also be a lot of volunteers helping us in the lab and the Open Source Playground, that will be just in front of the lab itself. I know that folks from the Ubuntu DC Loco , OpenSuSE, Fedora are supposed to be there.

I think all this will be very fun.

I'll try to post here, and also on Laconica/Twitter.
