URL: From gturov2 at uic.edu Mon Jan 19 19:50:18 2009 From: gturov2 at uic.edu (Gary Turovsky) Date: Mon, 19 Jan 2009 19:50:18 -0600 Subject: [Acm-announce] Next Flourish 2009 Open Source Conference Meeting is this Wednesday (1/21) at 6:30pm Message-ID: To everyone, Come join us for the next biweekly meeting of the Flourish Conference organizers on Wednesday, January 21st at 6:30pm in SEL 2262! The Flourish Open Source Conference is a great way to get involved in the open source movement. The Open Source philosophy advocates the openness and ready availability of software source code. Its ideas encourage innovation through collaboration, where many programmers contribute to a piece of software. Through this process, many great pieces of software have been built. From powering the Internet to running our cell phones, open source principles enable our 21st century lives and empower us to look towards the future. The conference seeks to advocate and educate students, companies, and professionals about open source. This year's theme is "Open Society", and our talks will be exploring the principles of openness in other aspects of our society. So far, we have raised about $10,000 in a down economic climate, gathered speakers from all over the US (and one from Italy), developed a website and prepared a branding image and a marketing campaign. But there's still so much more to be done. If you have no experience with open source, come help us organize the conference and learn what it's all about. If you are a seasoned open source advocate, then come help make Chicago and UIC an even greater center of openness and innovation. We have many tasks that need to be done. They range from stage management to web development, and we're always looking for amateurs to train. Don't be afraid to jump in feet first. You'll find that this kind of thing is fun, rewarding and a lot of good times.
