Oops again! We scheduled our Free and Open Source Software meetup during the Superbowl. Go figure. Well, we're gonna let it ride. Whether you want to watch the game, or yell about dotfile management while people are cheering for a touchdown, come on down to Hamilton on Feb 8! It will probably be busy. Look for Phil in his GNU hat. (Credit for comic goes to smbc-comics.com)4 views Oops again! We scheduled our Free and Open Source Software meetup during the Superbowl. Go figure.
