Notes

Abstract

How much do you know about Free Software, Open Source, Developers, and European meetings?

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a lively TV-style quiz show featuring several rounds of questions deemed too geeky for TV - about kernels, software projects, and digital culture. (Some will offer mass audience participation!)

As a fun game it will separate the Red Hat's from the Red Star's, the Linus Torvalds from "some random person in Nebraska", and is a fantastic way to enjoy our community even more.

Speakers

Steven Goodwin

Since 1999 Steven Goodwin (London, England) has been professionally involved in both the community and development environment for Linux, Free Software and Open Source. His first articles in Linux Magazine in 2001 began a long partnership where he brought the C programming language to the newsstand, demonstrated home automation, and uncovered command line power tools. He was also an "Open Source Champ" at Microsoft where he pioneered the use and advocacy of FLOSS in a (traditionally) closed environment.

As a speaker and commentator he has spoken at many major national, and international, conferences such as UKUUG and FOSDEM as well as writing the annual 'FOSDEM diaries' and gave the closing keynote at the 20th Anniversary FOSDEM event.
