I’m on the Evaluating Open Source panel, with Laura Quinn and Catherine Lane, which should be great. This year, I’m much more clear about the directions my work is going in, and what I’m looking for at NTC. I’m looking forward to it. And of course, there is Penguin Day !! I think it will be a great time.
