Sorry for the incredibly short notice, but this evening at 6 PM at linuxcaffe, we'll be hosting a Fedora 11 release party.

New features will be demonstrated and discussed. DVDs and CDs will be burned. USB sticks will be turned into bootable images with optional persistent storage. Food and drinks will be consumed. Good times will be had by all :)

Everyone is welcome. Again, sorry for the short notice.

Finally a grass roots conference for Linux and Open Source right here in Ontario.

The Ontario Linux Fest is a conference for all things Linux and Open Source.

UPDATE; the event was a blast !

The gathering was stimulating, dynamic and well organized , and CSI was the perfect venue. It was so much fun, linuxcaffe is hosting a follow up evening, this coming Wednesday June 11th. No advance booking required, no fees, but an opportunity to pick up the conversation and have a refeshing something.

In the spirit of Open, and in the form of bar-camp, the Shuttleworth Foundation and the Centre for Social Innovation are hosting OpenEverything

An un-conference exploring all things Open, the event will feature talks, sessions and "speedgeek" presentations by some of Toronto's most impassioned proponents of a more open society. There's only room for 60 participants, and the registration of $40 includes coffee, snacks, a hot meal and ideas that will change the world.

Announcing the Bickford Park Arts Collective (BPAC) with T and Shaz from
Southern Time Productions! BPAC will be hosting an open mic/jam, spoken word and music, every Thursday beginning March 27th. Signup at 7:30pm; show starts at 8pm.

UPDATE: Thanks to Ben and Suzy and friends

for a magical melodious evening !
We should turn the lights out more often.

On Saturday March 29, 8-9pm, linuxcaffe will join thousands of other businesses and people in Toronto (and millions worldwide) in flicking the switch, turning appliances off stand-by and enjoying an hour of quiet darkness. Earth Hour shows that, together, our small actions can make a difference to global warming.

Rain is a cellist who will perform a beautiful afternoon solo set in the lovely confines of linuxcaffe. Rain also incorporates video into her performance, making for a supersonic sensory experience. Featuring classical tunes by Vivaldi and Tchaikovsky, and well as some lesser-known (but really amusing) tunes. Should be a great show!
