BarCamp Chicago Style Going On Right Now!

By Richard A. Johnson on Published: August 16, 2008 at 1:17 pm

RIGHT NOW! Ya Jono, that was my Sammy Hagar reference there, the one you made fun of as you sung Hammer Time with Captain Morgan at some little pub in Michigan a few months back.

Anyways, I am sitting here at BarCamp Chicago listening to a really groovy talk on Erlang. The air show is going on right now over the lake and I really want to be there watching it too. Jeesh what a weekend in Chicago. If you want to stop by here at BarCamp go right ahead. We have plenty of food and drink and everything is FREE!

If you want to follow along a bit, you can keep an eye out on my new identi.ca account where I go by nothing other than ‘nixternal’

Hope to see some of you here at BarCamp! Have a great weekend!

Who is Richard A. Johnson?

My name is Richard A. Johnson. I am a professional developer, as well as an open source enthusiast, advocate, and author. I spend any free time I can get cycling.

Back in 1994 I was introduced to the world of open source software by installing Linux on a PC I had purchased from the Navy Exchange. At that time I had no idea what I was going up against, but never once did I let myself get frustrated, as Windows had already done that to me. Since then, I have completely immersed myself into the open source world and have been an active contributor.
