Hi, Marilyn and Daniel!

NECC is the largest ed tech conference in North America, and it usually attracts 15,000+ attendees.  For the fourth year I'll be running an "Open Source Pavilion" there with 40+ computers running Linux, and with a speaker series that's now a part of the main program.

If you're going to be at NECC, we'd love any volunteer efforts in the Pavilion.  (We could really use some machines right now for the playground area to demo different FLOSS programs.)  Here is the schedule of Open Source sessions at NECC.  If there is no location given, it is in the Open Source Pavilion--otherwise, the room location is after the title.
