OggCamp 10

It doesn’t seem a long time ago that the first OggCamp took place in Wolverhampton.

Wolverhampton - full of classy shops

It was a great event featuring lots of wonderful speakers, and me.

My talk was on “selling Free Software” where I revealed how we at The Open Learning Centre are helping businesses to take advantage of Open Source software. We also sponsored OggCamp and used it to launch our Libertus Cognatio package along with a get rich quick plan for the community.

At the end of the first OggCamp we all loved it so much we decided to do it again. The conversation went something like: “Lets do another one, we will book out a hotel so we are all staying together, somewhere not so far north, maybe Southampton.” some of the details changed since that conversation (it is in Liverpool and not in a hotel) but the important bit remains: we are doing it again and it will be awesome!

It will be at the Black E in Liverpool, featuring a Free Culture festival on the Friday night and two full days of meeting friends and exchanging ideas around Free Software and Free Culture. I am pleased to announce that once again The Open Learning Centre will be sponsoring OggCamp, and I might put my name forward to do a little talk. If I do then it will be a rather different sort of talk to the last one.

    Wow – Im at the University of Wolverhampton and based on the Linux activity at the Uni assumed that nothing like this was going on locally.

    Wolverhampton, highest empty shop ratio in the UK!
