Technology Amazes Me

Tonight was really cool. Normally the New York Linux Users Group (NYLUG) has its monthly meetings on Wednesday nights. But due to schedulling issues in the new venue, we got pushed onto tonight. Tonight was also the first meeting of the Ubuntu New York LoCo Team and since I have been pining for so long for there to be an Ubuntu Linux advocacy team here, I’d be crazy to miss that! So I took my handy-dandy notebook computer to Google’s Headquarters in Manhattan and sat in the auditorium which was pratically drenched in bandwidth and tuned into the LoCo meeting on IRC channel #ubuntu-ny. While NYLUG was haveing Googl-d’ourves, LoCo was doing business [dividing the kingdom and all that.] While NYLUG was doing Announcements, Ubuntu-NY was getting ready for the next meeting. While Chris Blizzard was presenting One Laptop Per Child, Ubuntu-NY was finished and having a little bullsession after the meeting! Perfect timing! OLPC is an awesome idea, and it looks like it is going to be well execueted! I am so stoked by this!I am so stoked by our first little group of New York Ubunteros and to use something Chris said tonight, “If you have five people who are dedicated, you can change the world.”
