This event by SATLUG.org, XCSSA.org and ACCD.edu is a three night one full day 
(Sat) celebration of Open Source Technologies.  The event will include give 
aways but will mainly focus on Open Source presentations covering business, 
scientific and recreational uses of Linux, BSD Unix, Apache, and similar 
O.S./FLOSS software [sic].

The open to the public, somewhat technical sessions will be on the following 
topics:
	o Linux Newbies Workshop*
	o Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP Workshop*
	o TCP/IP Nuts and Bolts
	o NewI\O: A New Approach to Internet Applications
	o The Source Code - A Messenger Implementation From Scratch
	o Shell scripting and regular expressions* (by Michael Roberts)
	o BSD--A Survey: NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD
	o Building Applications Using: LAMP and GNUPlot
	o State of the Linux Desktop (by yours truly)

* These sessions are hands on -- class hardware provided.

If interested in the session time slots (some are multi-part sessions), see 
the web site for the event:

Rackspace HR and a few support folks will be there on Saturday from 10am-2pm 
giving out free pizza and recruiting for tech positions!  Stop by and say 
"hi!". 

We usually get around 200 or so San Antonians in attendance, but this year 
we're expecting some attendees from Austin and San Marcos, so it may be 
crowded! :)

MySA.com coverage of the event is light, but there none the less:

Hope to see you there!
