Summer conference season is upon us, and employees of the OSL will be giving several talks. Kicking off June’s festivities, Leslie Hawthorn will be discussing “Humanitarian Free and Open Source Software: Saving the World One Bit at a Time” at Southeast LinuxFest. The conference runs from June 10-12 in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and Leslie will be speaking this Friday, June 10th.

If you find yourself in Portland, Oregon for Open Source Bridge, you’ll hear from all our technical staff at the conference. Tim Harder will be covering OSWALD: Lessons from and for the Open Hardware Movement. Lance Albertson and Peter Krenesky will be giving a tutorial talk on Hands-on Virtualization with Ganeti. Open Source Bridge runs June 21-24th.

We’re also gearing up for OSCON 2011, but that’s a story for July. We hope to see you at Southeast LinuxFest, Open Source Bridge or both!
