The community-based linux distribution, Fedora, is about to release version 9, and developers and enthusiasts will be having a get-together at linuxcaffe, to celebrate. Fedora is the free and open development branch of Red Hat, and it's really really good ! The party is open to anyone, so come on down and share in the revelry.

The first annual Jersey Ave Street Party was a huge success,
with fun and games all day
and a sit-down dinner for 120 friends and neighbours.

The second annual JSP is going to be EVEN BETTER !
put it on your calendar now, it's going to be THAT much fun!

The last Thursday of the month, linuxcaffe staff get together at their favorite caffe for a laugh and some take-out food. We stay open usual hours, but the service may be unpredictable.

;-)

Another in a series of planning sessions to organize the Aug 18th event. Anyone interested, or concerned (from the neighbourhood) are invited to attend.

UPDATE; this is a licensed event. Join us for the first keg of draft ever poured at linuxcaffe, and support two worthy charities.

A twin exhibit of images collected on two separate voyages (India and Mexico) capture magic from the people and places visited, will be on display (and for sale) at linuxcaffe for the month of August. The artists are not only opening a window to distant worlds, but are each raising funds for charity. On Thursday, Aug 2, Wade and Lesley will be having an opening party.

Lesley Marino - INDIA
In late 2005, Lesley traveled to Calcutta and Darjeeling, West Bengal, India. While In Calcutta, Lesley was drawn to sacred places and events, photographing the devout at the bathing ghats under the Howrah Bridge and at the Kali Temple. In the tranquil hills of Darjeeling, Lesley spent her time photographing people at the Tibetan Refugee Self Help Centre and wandering from one gompa (Tibetan Buddhist monastary) to another.

Wade Vroom – MEXICO
In 2006 Wade traveled through Mexico with his camera and a few of his favourite CD’s. During his travels through Mexico City, Puebla and Pureto Escondido, he approached random Mexican Citizens on the street and asked them “Una foto por favor?”, When they nodded in agreement, Wade quickly handed them a CD cover from his collection and took their picture. This photography exhibit examines how Mexican citizens react when handed a strange piece of paper, with no instructions, right before they get their picture taken by a Canadian photographer.

That's right, David C. is 21 and his folks decided to throw him a party at his favorite caffe, so from 8pm, it's invited party guests only !
Otherwise, summer closing at 11ish
