"Drinks for Nerds. Stuff that REALLY matters" Party!
6:30 - 8:30pm, Javits Center
Join us on the exhibit floor following Mr. Ralph Nader's presentation for a party sponsored by Andover.net and the Slashdot crew! As usual, substance is key so your preference in refreshments will rule. Pasta stations, an assortment of yummy appetizers, and large amounts of Freshmeat served along with an array of internationally chugged beer and wine. The perfect beginning to your evening, which ends at the FAO Schwarz Champagne and Dessert Spectacular.
How curious... is Andover/Slashdot supportive of Ralph Nader?
Will the pasta be penguin-shaped?
Wow, and how about that *nifty* FAO Schwarz Champagne Spectacular?...

Gee, what purity!
What Corporate Disdain!
What Nobility!
What a Load of Horse Sh*t...

At this overview page, one can see how far Open Source software has come now. The choice of topics is very wide, and although centered on web related applications (document management included), some tutorials are about GNOME, KDE or Open Source in general.
For the people who have the privilege to go, the choice of which tutorials to attend is not easy...

Clothing's cool... Buying geek clothing from Copyleft donates money to various free software groups.

Besides, the FSCK! shirt is cool.

And right now they're running a contest to win a free trip to The Bazaar (the convention in December in NYC).
