PFOSSCON (Pacific Free and Open Source Conference) will be held during the day on Saturday January 20 at the University of Hawaii.
Our currently confirmed speakers are: - Richard Stallman, founder of GNU Project and Free Software Foundation - Barton George, a member of Linux Strategy and Product Management for Sun Microsystems. Barton was born and raised in Hawaii as well as being a Punahou graduate. We've also dropped the entrance fee (to $0) and changed the venue (to UH from the Hawaii Convention Center). The idea is to make it easier for students (etc) to attend, both by making the cost zero as well as holding the event on Saturday. We are confirming the venue and a couple more speakers. The official web site should be launched some time early this week (http://www.pfosscon.org). Please, please consider registering for the event. Even if you have the slightest notion that you will be attending: http://www.hosef.org/civicspace/pfosscon2007_registration Registering will help us secure additional resources and sponsorship by providing some firm expected attendance numbers.
