The travels of Justin

It was only a few weeks ago when I read about the upcoming official release of the awesome web browser FireFox. Then I read about a donation drive spearheaded by SpreadFireFox.com. The goal was to raise enough money to put a full-page ad in the New York Times. In only 10 days, over 10,000 people raised an impressive $250,000 USD.

After watching this incredible success, I heard about an event dubbed Mozparty2. (For the non-geeks: ‘Moz’ referrs to the not-for-profit Mozilla Foundation that manages FireFox and other excellent free software.) Just imagine, people from all over the world, using the release of free and open-source software as an excuse to get together. Just look at all the countries being represented at Mozparty2.

So why not Kamloops? I posted an announcement to the mailing list of the KamLUG website and a location was chosen.
