Last year Matt Mossholder held a very successful MythTV seminar using Mythbuntu for the Ubuntu Pennsylvania team. Due to the great interest in the community and much remorse from folks who missed the first session, we hosted a second session on June 21st. The session went very well, with approx a dozen people in attendance, […]

PhillyChix Meeting
June 26th, 2008 by pleia2
Last week we had a PhillyChix meeting for the first time since the Girls Inc Event last year. It was pretty much just a social meeting. Danita Fries and Stephanie Layton were in attendance with me, and though the meeting was small we had some really great discussions ranging from Stephanie’s Debian packaging, to general […]
Ubuntu Women Project Status – Mid 2008
June 24th, 2008 by pleia2
The last time I posted a status update on the project was August 2007. As an advocacy project, we don’t make the swift changes that development projects make, but I’d like to comment on that previous post and move forward with what we’ve accomplished in these past 10 months. The primary concerns in the last […]

Beer, radio, metal
June 15th, 2008 by pleia2
It’s been a busy weekend. Friday night I met up with Stephen for dinner at Union Barrel Works in Reamstown. I’d never heard of this brewpub, and their beers were pretty mild, but everything in the sampler we got was clean finishing and good (Sampler: Kolsch, Mai Bock, Pale Ale, Dopplebock, Dubbel, and one other […]

Weekend in DC – Part 2
June 10th, 2008 by pleia2
So, just like my trip out to San Francisco, I managed to make my trip to DC during a heat wave. Highs near 100 don’t agree with me but by staying hydrated (carried a water bottle with me EVERYWHERE) and taking a reasonable number of breaks was the key to me getting through Saturday. Sunday […]

Weekend in DC – Part 1
June 10th, 2008 by pleia2
I spent this past weekend in Washington DC. I went down with my friend Stephen on Thursday night. Friday was a work event for him, and I was able to work from the hotel (not something I can do often, but I love how flexible my job can be!). Friday night was a company dinner […]

I left a bit of my heart in San Francisco
June 3rd, 2008 by pleia2
I never thought I was the type to fall in love with California, but the other day I was driving down the turnpike and saw some fog. Did I think of Maine, the foggy home I’d lived in for 16 years? Nope, I thought of San Francisco, and found myself pining for it a bit. […]
