Get on the Bus

I’m excited to let folks know that the Bus Project will be headed down to the Open Source Lab on Friday September 30th, 2005 (this Friday). The Bus Project is a grass-roots political activism group based out of Portland, OR.

Several months ago I offered up to the POSSE folks to visit the OSL. Well, they recently teamed up with the Bus Project to make a trip of it. The goals of the event will be to tour the Open Source Lab and see what we’re up to as well as raise awareness of open source and why its a “good thing” to local legislators. Finally, we’ll be talking a bit about Government Open Source Conference and what we’re trying to accomplish for the public sector.

It looks like we have some great local legislators lined up (the folks that brought us Oregon’s first open source bill should be in attendence) as well as some press to hopefully promote the event and GOSCON.

If you’re interested in “getting on the bus” get in touch with David Pool or get in touch with the Bus Project directly.
