Fosscon 2013 – all done til 2014
Another great Fosscon is now done. Thanks Jonathan and Crissi for all the hard work you do all year to make this event happen. I’d also like to thank all of the staff that assists with this event. Finally, I’d like to thank all that support and attend this local event.
The Ubuntu Local Community Team always sponsors an Installfest at Fosscon. This year, we had an open Installfest. Any distro that wanted, could represent themselves and be part of the Installfest.
Fedora stepped up to that challenge. Ben and his wife drove all the way from North Carolina to represent Fedora. They are wonderful people and wonderful advocates. It was a pleasure working with them.
The Installfest yielded 2 new installs and 1 issue resolution (performed by the Fedora Team). The 2 new installs came via NTR.
Many Ubuntu-US-PA members, alumni and friends were among the attendees at Fosscon. Some were speakers.
Alumna Elizabeth Joseph was a speaker.
Member Brent Saner was a speaker.
Friend/Member by default, Walt Mankowski was a speaker.
Exhibitors and Sponsors entertained and informed all.
Even Sunday, the day after Fosscon, some met at Hive76 for an impromptu Hackfest.
Project.Phree, point.io, and Ecere were represented at the Hackfest on Sunday.
Each year gets bigger and better. Help us keep this going.
