Wordcamp is finally coming to town and I just got myself registered for the event. Been looking forward to attending one ever since they started setting up these camps abroad. Fortunately enough, our good friends from Mindanao Bloggers have made this one possible and saved us a lot in trip expenses. Many thanks!

Ideas for SFD08 Swag

My idea of a swag kit consists of an SFD08 shirt, some SFD08 stickers, and LiveCDs/DVDs of major Linux distributions (Fedora, Ubuntu, Slackware, etc.).

Since a Fedora LiveUSB station won’t be that hard to setup, I’ll be keeping that in mind for those attendees who may happen to have spare USB space.

For the shirt, I’m thinking of using Jayme Ayres’ design for projetofedora.org. It’s GPL-licensed so we can make revisions to it like accommodating other sponsors at the back. It also didn’t hurt that the design is clean and BLUE.

Here is the tentative program for the Software Freedom Day prepared by BLUE. This has been cribbed from the planning pages of bluepointer.org but since the site is for members only, I’m posting this for everyone’s benefit.

Intel/Symantec/Dell Business Agility Event

We came a bit underdressed for this one. People from all over came in formal attire while we came in our office uniforms which is smart casual at best. Luckily for us, no one chased us away and we heard Intel talk about vPro, Symantec about Altiris and Dell about their partnership with Intel and Symantec.

The high point of the night is during the raffle. Everybody is hoping to get some of the big freebies. For some reason, our names were not called and we have to make do with a 2GB flash drive which isn’t that bad at all.
