Greetings all.
As part of the FreeBSD advocacy push in Ticino Switzerland
2008,
I attended the OpenExpo 2008 in Bern Switzerland and got a
lot of
good feedback
from the Open Source Software Community.
I spoke with Open Source Software vendors and exchanged
ideas and
opinions.
In the after ours sessions I made a small speech about
FreeBSD and
The FreeBSD Foundation.
I also presented my FreeBSD Push 2008 in Ticino.
I got a lot of positive feedback and and offers of help with
the
seminars that will be offered at the Ticino Informatica on
October.
I had lunch with Alan Cox and we shared Ideas, and the need
for the
Open Source Software community
to remain tight knit allowing Opens Source Software to
become
mainstream.
I also spoke with Many LINUX users who did not even know
what FreeBSD
was, Most seemed open to
explore and try out FreeBSD. On the other hand I found many
LINUX
users who also have used and currently use FreeBSD.
I took time to garner support for my FreeBSD push 2008 by
asking them
to share their solution they have developed with Open Source
Software
and any FreeBSD stories that they may want to share on the
New web
site I will be creating shortly "www.alpifoss.ch"
(The Free Business
Association For Free Open Source Software).
I have gotten one offer of a speaker at the FreeBSD Seminar
I will be
having at the Ticino Informatica, about an implementation of
Samba
with FreeBSD
Also I spoke with a representative of Google and he told me
I should
remain in contact with possibilities of a speaker, or
possible
sponsorship.
I am still asking for help funding and freeBSD goodies from
several
sources. if you anyone has ideas or or suggestions please
contact me.
