“Flourish – to grow luxuriantly, to thrive, to achieve success, to reach a height of development or influence.”
Flourish! will be held April 6th and 7th at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Some of the speakers include:
- Peter T. Brown – Free Software Foundation
- Chris DiBona – Google
- Angela Byron – Drupal
- Tom ‘Spot’ Callaway – Red Hat
- John Doppke – IBM
- Willy Farrell – IBM
- Paul McMahan – IBM
- John Quigley – Cleversafe
- Jason Rexilius
The venue includes a lot of great speakers as noted above as well as some intermingling time, a hack-a-thon, and a Battle of the Distros (so far Ubuntu vs. Linspire vs. Fedora/Red Hat). So if you are in the Chicagoland area these 2 days, stop on by and say hello. I will be hanging out with the Ubuntu Chicago and the Chicago GLUG crowds, as well as participating in the Battle of the Distros (I am throwing Kubuntu into that mix by the way).
