LugRadio Live 2006 This Weekend

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the got-your-ears-on? dept.

mrBen writes "This weekend (22nd & 23rd July) sees the 2nd LugRadio Live event, bringing together a huge number of top quality speakers (including Mark Shuttleworth (Canonical), Simon Phipps (Sun), Stephen Lamb (Microsoft), Ted Haegar (Novell)), exhibitors (including Ubuntu, OpenSolaris, MythTV, Joomla, Bytemark) and a slew of lightning talks and BOF (Birds of a Feather) sessions. Last year's event gathered 250 geeks from all over the world to Wolverhampton — this year's event is twice as long and twice as big, and promises to be the community event of the year."

    Nice way to miss the point. LugRadio has a huge listenership worldwide, and their event is one of the few that hasn't been taken over by the men in suits. More to the point, they've attracted some of the biggest names in the community, and some really interesting projects.

    If Linux isn't your thing, then feel free not to come.....

    Note that this is LugRadio Live - it's an annual conference organised by the LugRadio podcast (http://www.lugradio.org), although a good number of LUG members from around the world will be attending (eg theres a good contingent going from Scotlug).

    Mind you - you will meet good people and learn something new :) And there will probably be a large quantity of beer consumed.

  3. There'll be Linux LAN gaming and my xmame cabinet by msemtd · · Score: 2, Informative

    Clan LugRadio (http://clan.lugradio.org/) are providing LAN gaming and I have 4-player Gauntlet on my xmame (http://x.mame.net/) cabinet. Hope to see many old and new friends there. BTW: LugRadio Live 2006 deserves to be front page news!

  4. Yay! by popeydotcom · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm looking forward to the special blend of geeky chat with some friends I've met online, learning new stuff from the developers of the products I use every day, beer, a few games of Enemy Territory, listening in on a recording of LUGRadio and generally having a bit of a laugh with some friends. I created a natty PDF which shows what's on in an easily digestable form. Almost time to print out and highlight!
