LUGRadio
-
this
one's
from
Britain
and
features
four
guys
who
have
>>
various
perspectives
on
Linux(Jono
is
the
Ubuntu
Community
Manager
at
>>
Canonical).
What's
nice
about
this
one
is
that
they
have
more
hosts
and
>>
seem
to
delve
deeper
into
the
aspects
of
community,
freedom,
and
the
>>
direction
various
open
source
software
projects
are
going.
They're
also
>>
hosting
LUGRadio
Live
at
the
Metreon
with
exhibits
and
speakers
on
April
>>
12-13th
this
year
so
that
might
be
fun
to
check
out.
Glad you like the show!
>SF-LUG
might
wish
to
do
more
than
just
check
them
out.
Here's
an
>invitation
from
them
to
BALUG,
which
I'm
sure
is
equally
extended
to
>other
Bay
Area
LUGs:
Yes definately. I thought I'd sent an invite to SF-LUG but I thought I was subscribed to BALUG as well so what do I know!
If anybody is interested in exhibiting for SF-LUG or for any other Open Source/Free Software groups or projects drop us an email we'd love to have you. Dont be put off by the "fun and interactive" thing, while obviously we'd love all our exhibitors to have exciting attention grabing stands we do understand thats a lot easier for some projects then others.
Theres a list of speakers at http://lugradio.org/live/USA2008/

>As
you
may
or
may
not
be
aware,
the
very
first
LugRadio
Live
USA
in
>2008
is
taking
place
at
The
Metreon
in
San
Francisco.
The
event
will
>be
happening
on
the
12th
and
13th
April
2008,
and
will
provide
the
>unique
atmosphere
of
the
UK
event,
but
in
glorious
San
Francisco.
>LugRadio
Live
has
developed
a
strong
reputation
for
providing
a
range
>of
topics
about
free
software,
Open
Source,
digital
rights,
technology
>and
more,
a
compelling
list
of
speakers,
exhibitors
and
birds
of
a
>feather
sessions,
and
wrapping
it
all
in
a
unique,
fun,
loose,
social
>and
inclusive
event,
which
is
often
described
as
combining
the
>atmosphere
of
a
rock
concert
and
a
computer
conference.
>
>At
LugRadio
Live
USA
2008
we
plan
on
bringing
this
unique
atmosphere
>to
the
USA,
and
inviting
around
30
speakers,
a
full
cast
of
exhibiting
>projects
and
companies,
an
eclectic
range
of
BOF
sessions,
and
plenty
>of
additional
sessions
such
as
our
debate
discussion
panel,
a
showcase
>of
five
minute
talks,
tech
demos,
and
of
course
a
live
recording
of
>LugRadio
in
front
of
an
audience.
We
expect
around
500
-
700
attendees
>to
the
event.
>
>Anyway,
to
the
business
in
hand...
>
>As
mentioned,
we'll
be
having
an
exhibition
area
where
we
want
to
have
>projects
and
companies
who
do
cool
things.
In
the
past
we've
had
open
>source
projects
showing
off
their
work
such
as
KDE,
Gnome,
and
Ubuntu,
>companies
who
work
with
Linux
like
Neuros,
distributors
like
Sun,
Red
>Hat
and
Novell,
and
also
a
range
of
user
groups
looking
to
publicise
>themselves
to
the
community
at
large.
We
were
wondering
whether
the
>Bay
Area
LUG
would
be
interested
in
having
an
exhibition
stand
at
the
>event
this
year?
>
>Exhibitor
space
is
free;
we
don't
charge,
because
LugRadio
Live
is
a
>community
event.
The
focus
is
on
people
having
a
great
time,
not
in
>making
money
:-)
We'd
like
it
if
your
exhibition
stand
could
be
>something
fun
and
interactive,
rather
than
just
a
table
with
leaflets
>and
advertising.
>
>Another
thing:
as
part
of
the
event,
we
provide
each
attendee
with
a
>registration
bag,
containing
some
free
items
from
different
>organisations.
We
try
to
keep
the
items
in
this
bag
as
interesting
as
>possible,
and
in
the
past
this
has
included
pens,
badges,
software,
>clothing
and
more.
If
you'd
like
to
contribute
something
to
the
bag
>this
year
for
LugRadio
Live
USA
2008,
we'd
be
happy
to
include
it.
>Both
the
goodie
bag
and
an
exhibition
stand
are
excellent
ways
for
you
>to
be
associated
with
a
strongly
community
and
Open
Source
focused
>event,
and
the
demographic
it
attracts.
For
the
bag,
we
will
need
500
>of
whatever
you
choose
to
contribute,
and
all
you
need
to
do
is
ship
>them
to
us,
there
is
no
charge
in
addition
to
sending
the
items
-
we
>will
add
them
to
the
bags
ready
for
the
event.
>
>LugRadio
Live
in
the
UK
has
developed
a
strong
reputation
for
being
>'the'
community
event
in
the
UK,
and
we
are
looking
to
bring
this
to
>USA.
We
would
love
if
you
could
be
one
of
the
organisations
who
helped
>make
this
happen.
:)
>
>If
you're
not
the
right
person
to
ask
about
attending,
we'd
be
>grateful
if
you
could
either
pass
it
on
to
the
right
person
for
us
or
>get
back
in
touch
to
let
us
know
who
to
contact.

>You
can
check
who
is
speaking
and
how
the

>Any
questions
or
queries,
feel
free
to
drop
us
an
email
in
reply
to
>this
email,
and
we
really
hope
you
can
be
a
part
of
the
event.
