Welcome to Panela, Matt Harrison's take on mostly Open Source, Linux, Python, innovation in those areas, other buzzwords and Dick Proenneke. It comes complete with the illustrations as needed. Note the opinions expressed here are merely my opinions and not the opinions of my employer.

Countdown to UTOSC 2009
The Utah Open Source Conference is coming up soon. This a regional community run conference that is now in its 3rd year. Clint and crew do a bang up job organizing, soliciting participation and generally making sure things run smoothly. Talks run the gamut from Blender, Cooking, Photography, to FreeBSD and more. I'll be presenting two times.
I'll be giving an Intermediate Python Workshop for two hours. The first half will be lecture and the second half will be a short hands on programming assignment to drill in the material. If you want to participate in the workshop and would like to learn something not on the current plan, drop me a note.
I'm also giving a What Every Programmer Should Know About Code Coverage talk later. This one is more language agnostic, but examples will probably be in Python.
If you are interested in attending the conference, the earlier you sign up the cheaper it is. Though you should probably find some way of convincing your boss to pay for it. If you are using Open Source at work, there's bound to be something relevant to your job.
