Kind of a Penguin Day

Jon L.

Spent today at Urban 15 in San Antonio, at an Open Source workshop based on Aspiration's Penguin Day events. Despite Aspiration co-director Allen Gunn's presence and leadership, we saw this as more of a precursor to a larger regional Penguin Day that we'll put together sometime after the first of the year, probably in February. Today's event wasn't far off the mark, though. We started with general explanations of Open Source for the diverse group that showed up, the discussed actual Open Source implementations such as the use of Webmin to manage the sites hosted by the Metropolitan Austin Information Network, the San Antonio Independent School District's use of Open Source content management systems to support school web sites, the Drupal-based Write On Austin! web site, and the Urban 15 project Nos Unimos, which hosts family photos from San Antonio's historic West Side. In breakout sessions we talked about content management systems, licensing, and Open Source history. We also had a speed-geeking session (where I demo'd WordPress via the "You're It!" blog). Check out a few photos.

Nice photo =)

Jon,

I agree, great picture ;-). It got me interested in checking out the links you offered. But, when I tried to access writeonaustin.org, I found the link wasn't working.

FYI, I had to use
http://www.writeonaustin.org/
to access it.

Regards,
Bobby Lilly

That's kinda bizarre. When I got your comment via email, I typed that URL into my browser and it came up fine. Then I clicked the link on my post, and it didn't work. Adding "www" to the url seemed to do the trick, though. It should work for you now.
