[04:01] <nnonix> Anyone playing with Gnome 3 yet?
[04:03]  * nnonix throws tomatoes
[04:59] <tonyyarusso> nope
[06:41] <damian> Well this is interesting, I'm connected through an android app.
[06:42] <damian> Anyone know of any FOSS events or groups besides our LoCo?
[06:43] <tonyyarusso> damian: I assume you mean in Minnesota?
[06:43] <damian> Aye
[06:43] <tonyyarusso> Things with varying degrees of overlap that I can think of off the top of my head:
[06:44] <tonyyarusso> TCLUG / Penguins Unbound (St. Paul), K-LUG (Rochester), Northfield LUG
[06:44] <tonyyarusso> FreeGeek Twin Cities
[06:44] <tonyyarusso> MinneBar
[06:44] <tonyyarusso> Beyond the Yellow Ribbon
[06:45] <damian> Wow, where did you come across them?
[06:45] <tonyyarusso> which?
[06:46] <damian> I mean is there a central site for this stuff (the ones I went to didn't have MN)
[06:46] <tonyyarusso> There's also a UNIX user group, a generic PC one, and an Association for Women in Computing chapter, and I think a LinuxChix chapter.
[06:46] <tonyyarusso> damian: Nope - this is in my head :P
[06:46] <tonyyarusso> Gathered from multiple sources.
[06:47] <tonyyarusso> Plus there are a couple of companies / organizations that use or support FLOSS, such as the U of M CompSci department, CodeWeavers (WINE/CrossOver), and Nagios Enterprises (my employer).
[06:48] <tonyyarusso> So yeah, there is a LOT of potential for collaboration that we haven't even begun to tap.
[06:49] <tonyyarusso> Of those, the ones that we've ever done anything with so far are Penguins Unbound and the UofM, and I've had people contact me asking about possibilities from FreeGeek and BtYR, and I have an outside-of-MN-Ubuntu connection to AWC and LinuxChix.
[06:55] <damian> Happen to know if any of them holding an event?
[06:56] <damian> I was in the browser, so I didn't realize you had made more msgs.
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> no idea
[06:58] <tonyyarusso> well, PU does once a month.
[07:03] <damian> I'm gonna try the next PU, thanks for the help.
[19:35] <Takyoji> Curious if anyone here has come across this: http://betterfly.com/category/operating-systems/betterists
[20:10] <tonyyarusso> nope
