[Sosfbay-discuss] Greenfair Silicon Valley: June 7-8th in San José

[Drew Johnson]

We had tons' o discussion starting last summer in the Santa Clara party
about a great proposal that Fred Duperrault brought up in trying to have a
coalitional effort to have some kind of Green Festival thingy, possibly to
include San Mateo party.  Well we put some effort into it but didn't
manage to shepard the whole concept along and pull it together. 
Nevertheless here's an example of a confluence of coincidental concepts
(great minds thinking alike) has brought along another entity that is
going to hold something kinda like what we had in mind.  I spotted that
this was going to happen months back, but didn't get around to posting
about it.  Nevertheless, its here now and I'd like to see as many of us
check it out as possible, with thoughts about how we might participate in
this one in the future or do some kind of other Green Fest thingy.


Green is Confluence!
