StatusReport: StatusNet at LinuxConf 2010 (#lca2010) in New Zealand + Free shirts at StatusCheck

A big thanks to all who came out to the first StatusCampSF last friday in San Francisco! We had a great time talking about the software and community of StatusNet. You can see the results and notes from the event last friday at http://statuscamp.org/sf.

I'm now here in Wellington, New Zealand at the invite of the organizers to talk about StatusNet and Free Network Services! I'm speaking at 11:30 AM on Wednesday in Renouf 1 for an hour with this updated talk:

What's Your StatusNet? (Updates like Identi.ca)

StatusNet is a hosted service for setting your status updates (aka, microblogging), is free software (licensed under the GNU AGPL), and is the software that powers the popular Autonomo.us Free Network Service, Identi.ca. This presentation looks broadly at these three parts of the StatusNet, how to setup YOUROWN.status.net, installing your own instance, and the company which supports the community. As a bonus, this talk introduces StatusNet's business and how to apply to under-represented free network services. Since this conference is more technical, we will dig deeper into the LAMP-powered StatusNet software, the updated OpenMicroBlogging standard that allows distributed federated microblogging, and will explore the basics of free network services through the eyes of the Franklin Street Declaration.

#StatusCheck at #LCA2010

Also, at the end of the day I'm speaking, at 6 PM, myself and Emma from Status.Net leading an effort to get a drink at Hashigo Zake near the conference venue at 6 PM. Anyone who attends, I will get you a private installation of StatusNet and I have 20 shirts to give out with the new StatusNet logo. That's right! You will get them first!

Here's the details of the venue Hashigo Zake:
