Anyone in Texas in July? ----- Original message ----- From: Nathan Willis <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Subject: Texas Linux Fest 2016 CFP Date: Mon, 2 May 2016 18:19:20 -0500
Hi, My name is Nate Willis; I'm one of the organizers of Texas Linux Fest, which we're proud to say is the leading community Linux-and-FOSS conference for Texas and the surrounding region. This is our seventh year, and we're anticipating a crowd of over 1,000. Our event is July 8th and 9th this year, in downtown Austin, TX. We'd really love it if some folks from the Guardian Project or surrounding community can be there—be they local or from out of town. I especially wanted to draw your attention to our call for participation. We're intent on attracting a wide variety of speakers representing open source and free software, both users and developers, from all corners. The details are here: http://2016.texaslinuxfest.org/call-for-papers and the deadline is approaching. I'm really keen to have projects and developers from outside the "purely commercial" world represented strongly on our program. In particular, we're trying to reach out to people who work on privacy issues, which is why I thought of you. I realize Austin is likely not local for many people, but knowing all of the collaborative work you do, I was hoping that you might have contributors or interested volunteers who would be in the area, and you could put us in touch. Please consider submitting a talk proposal, and we would doubly love it if you could help us spread the word by sharing the CFP with people in your user and developer community! If you have any questions, or if you want to know more about Texas Linux Fest in general, please get in touch! Thanks, from me and on behalf of the entire TXLF 2016 team, Nate PS - I've tried to make this email just general enough that, if you feel like it, you could just forward it to any mailing lists or cut-and-paste it into any discussion forum that feels appropriate. Feel free! PPS - If there is just someone in the Austin or central-Texas area who might like to represent GP with a booth, we do have free both space available for non-profit projects. Please ask! -- nathan.p.willis [email protected] <http://identi.ca/n8> -- Nathan of Guardian [email protected] _______________________________________________ List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To unsubscribe, email: [email protected]
