Session 1/2: I’m worried about open source and so should you
Speaker: Richard O’Donoghue
We love open source software, but the ecosystem around it isn’t without its problems, and given recent events, I worry about the future. This talk will be a dive into the issues, and what the future could look like—both positive and negative.
Session 2/2: The first ever non-annual 1v1 secret install grand prix
Contestants: Brendon Green, Robbie Mckennie
Referee: Nick Skarott
Two of our members have agreed to a race. Only thing is, they don’t know what they will have to install, or what the goal is until the race itself. It’s 100% fair, unbiased, totally-rigged-in-favour-of-audience-enjoyment Linux fun.
