York University in Toronto recently hosted Seneca’s 5th Annual Free Software and Open Source Symposium which took place October 26-27 at York University. Here at Indyish, we were busy doing our thing in Montreal and wish we could have caught it, but luckily they’ve made all the presentations available under a Creative Commons license. Which is really cool.
Presenters included:
Mike Shaver, Co-founder, Mozilla Project
Chris Blizzard, Red Hat, Inc.
Steve Hayman, Apple
Louis Suarez-Potts, Community Manager and Community Lead, OpenOffice.org
Nat Friedman, Vice President, Linux Desktop, Novell
Plus many more…
