Toronto Linux Fest / Free Software and Open Source Symposium 2011

Join us on October 27-29th, 2011 at the Seneca@York Campus for the FSOSS/Linuxfest 2011. The conference provides a venue to share the latest trends in open source. It is an event aimed at bringing together industry, developers, educators and the community and any other interested parties to discuss open source, open web, and academic/industry partnerships.

This year’s three day event will offer presentations, workshops and a half day un-conference allowing you an opportunity to collaborate with your peers and learn from your mentors. Join the wave of the future and see how open source software is used in classrooms, labs and industry!

Sacha Chua–On Volunteering and Leading the Build Class at Free Geek

Posted on by

We’ve just come back from volunteering at Free Geek Toronto, where we’ve been helping people refurbish donated PCs. It’s a good idea: help people develop computer skills while reducing waste. Unusable components are separated and bundled for recycling.

Working with computer components as old as the ones they get there can be challenging. People need to identify and isolate problems, replace parts that don’t work, and set up Ubuntu Linux.
