Kod i ferien

IT- og telestyrelsen inviterer universitetsstuderende til Kod i ferien. Konceptet ligner meget Google Summer of Code, men med et dansk fokus.

Udover Open Source er der dog også fokus på at kunne bidrage til projekter som benyttes af danske offentlige myndigheder. Det virker rigtig fornuftigt at have fokus på hvordan Open Source kan hjælpe vores fælles offentlige system.

Jeg syntes det virker som et rigtig spændende initiativ, så hvis du er universitetsstuderende og har lyst til at skrive noget Open Source kode for et projekt, som benyttes af dele af det offentlige, så send dem en ansøgning!
Der er ansøgningsfrist d. 17. juni.

Open Source Software conference

Thursday Michael, Niels and myself represented the Danish Ubuntu community at a conference about open source software in the public sector.

We shared a community booth with the nice people from the Danish OpenOffice.org and Mozilla communities.

The conference took place at the historic Børsen.
We handed out all our remaining 8.10 desktop cd’s, got to talk with a lot of people and I believe we managed to convince a few people that Ubuntu (and Linux) has come a long way the last couple of years. Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough to get a picture when one of the speakers, Christian Lanng, booted his laptop while it was plugged into the projector and revealed that he is in fact running Ubuntu.

You can find resources (presentations etc.) from the conference and discussions of the conference at Digitalisér.dk (in Danish).
