SeaGL is This Friday

The 2017 Seattle GNU/Linux Conference is scheduled for October 6th and 7th at Seattle Central College (Maps). 9am-5:30pm both days.

• 1701 Broadway Seattle, WA 98122

SeaGL is a grassroots technical conference dedicated to spreading awareness and knowledge about the GNU/Linux community and free/libre/open-source software/hardware. Our goal for SeaGL is to produce an event which is as enjoyable and informative for those who spend their days maintaining hundreds of servers as it is for a student who has only just started exploring technology options. SeaGL’s first year was 2013. The SeaGL web site is built with Jekyll and we use OSEM for event management.

The cost of attendance is free.

Attendee Registration will not require the use of non-free software.

You may attend SeaGL without identifying yourself, and you are encouraged to do so to protect your privacy.

Hang out with Ang and Chris at the SeaGL Meetup

Chris and Angela will be at SeaGL Friday Oct 6th interviewing and meeting people in attendance. If you plan to come feel free to say hi and we’d love to see you wearing a JB shirt!
