May Meeting, Tim hortons on Carling and March next to the Lone Star Topics: BSD Canada 2006 OSW (Open Source Weekend) Sorry for the late posting, I forgot I hadn’t taken care of it before the conference last week.

This is posted from the OSW mailing list, with a few edits for readability. Yes, I’m confirming that Free Culture Carleton will be involved in the May 14th [OSW event. I’ll give details about our presentation(s) on the wiki. I’m interested in doing a talk about Creative Commons, self-publishing media, and the iCommons summit. Someone I know may do a presentation on Linux audio software. Please pass the wiki password to me and I will put the details up there.

The actual email address is lpi_exams@ovsage.org.
