[liberationtech] FW: Learn about Free and Open Source Software at Penguin Day D.C. - March 20th

[Deborah Elizabeth Finn]

(Dear Libertation Tech Colleagues:  I attended Penguin Days in Seattle
and New Orleans, and I hardly know how to praise them highly enough.
Let's just say that it's a quasi-religious experience - see
<http://ow.ly/45BFm> <http://ow.ly/45BGE>.  If you're planning to
attend the Nonprofit Technology Conference in Washington, it makes
sense to stick around another day for a high-quality learning
experience.  Best regards from Deborah)

Hi 501TechClub Boston friends,

Penguin Day is coming to Washington DC on Sunday, March 20, right
after the Non-Profit Technology Conference.  If you're going to the
NTC, coming here is another heaping spoon of open source knowledge you
can bring back to your team.  We'd love to see you there!
