It’s a pleasure to announce that Bradley Kuhn of the Software Freedom Law Center, Jay Sulzberger, a long-time free software advocate and general troublemaker (in a good way), and Benjamin “Mako” Hill of the MIT Media Lab (and longtime Debian and Ubuntu leader) have all agreed to speak at The UbuCon. There are more on the way. Make sure to visit the schedule wiki to see who else will show up.

It’s been a busy time here at UbuCon central. First the venue – Leslie kindly updated the wiki to include the latest:

Google’s NYC office is located at 76 9th Avenue in Chelsea, Manhattan, between 8th and 9th Avenue and 15th and 16th Street. Please enter the building on the northwest side (16th Street & 9th Avenue). A Google representative will be on hand to greet you, provide you with a building badge, and direct you to the 8th floor.

To get to Google New York, take the A/C/E or L subway to 14th Street, and exit onto 8th Avenue. Alternatively, the 1/2/3 subway lines and M11, M14, and M20 buses service the surrounding area. If you are driving, the closest parking lot is located in the building, accessible from 15th or 16th Street.

Note that we will have to supply video cameras if we want to record any sessions. Please let us know if you would like to volunteer for this – we will set you up with the Google AV staff to discuss logistics.

As seen on TINOSC: Regardless of what transpires, we don’t get any more silly stories about whether Open Source will survive. Well, sometimes we do, but I don’t think anyone actually takes them seriously. The market has matured to the point where many finally understand that any one company’s failing is not representative of the entire Open Source community
