FLOSS Manuals Launch Party! 1800, Friday Oct 19, 2007 The Netherlands Media Art Institute (Montevideo), Amsterdam
FLOSS Manuals (http://www.flossmanuals.net) is pushing the big green 'go' button on Friday Oct 19, 2007. Over the last months we have been getting our design and code in place, making our wiki not look like a wiki, building a community of free documentation writers, writing a plan, and ... writing quality free manuals about free software! Now everything is in place and it's time to launch FLOSS Manuals and celebrate the beginning of something beautiful. We also wish to celebrate FLOSS Manuals recent prize (15,000 Euro) awarded by the Digital Pioneers Academy. We would like to invite you to celebrate with us at our launch party! The evening will begin with a short introduction from Adam Hyde, Founder of FLOSS Manuals, followed by a cutting of the tape, drinks and nibbles, and lead into a performance by FLOSS Manuals Blender maintainer and internationally acclaimed artist Julian Oliver. As part of the launch a short documentary about FLOSS Manuals will be presented on the opening night of the Video Vortex exhibition at the Netherlands Media Art Institue (19 october, from 17.00). Additionally, we continue the launch celebrations on December 13 when another internationally acclaimed artist Derek Holzer (also the FLOSS Manuals PureData manual maintainer) will host the first FLOSS Manuals Documentation Workshop together with Adam Hyde. Join us for the celebration!
