<http://gtalug.org/meeting/2018-09/> # How Open Source Destroyed the Past, Created the Present, and Will One Day, Save the Future. with Marcel Gagne We are living in a world built on, and by, Open Source. Every Web page we visit, every message we send, every video we watch, every second of our connected lives owes its existence to an idea that's part technology, part ideology, and part philosophy. That idea would eventually infect millions, tearing down old business models, cultures, and even livelihoods, as it went. It's an idea that would redefine the meaning of 'free' and 'freedom'. But it would also create the world we live in, a world that is still struggling to adapt to the changes, a world where the idea that is "free and open" will, in time, define the future. ## Location George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street, Room 203 Ryerson University <http://goo.gl/maps/16oJ2> <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23447525> ## Schedule * 6:00 pm - Please discuss on the general mailing list (i.e. <talk(a)gtalug.org>) where you want to go for dinner. * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. * 9:00 pm - After each meeting, a group of GTALUGers move to The Imperial Pub (54 Dundas St East) for refreshments and more socialising. # Code of Conduct We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills. We gain strength from diversity, and actively seek participation from those who enhance it. This code of conduct exists to ensure that diverse groups collaborate to mutual advantage and enjoyment. We will challenge prejudice that could jeopardise the participation of any person in the community. The Code of Conduct governs how we behave in public or in private whenever the Linux community will be judged by our actions. We expect it to be honoured by everyone who represents the community officially or informally, claims affiliation or participates directly. It applies to activities online or offline. We invite anybody to participate. Our community is open. Please read more about the GTALUG Code of Conduct here: <http://gtalug.org/about/code-of-conduct/>.

<http://gtalug.org/meeting/2018-08/> # Behind and Beyond Maker Festival with Eric Boyd I'm Eric Boyd, founder of maker festival, and serial entrepreneur. I grew up on a small farm in Ontario, and I've lived and worked in Silicon Valley. I co-founded StumbleUpon.com with friends in 2000, and in Toronto I've been president of Hacklab.TO, organizer of lots of different meetups (including Toronto Quantified Self). My interests span everything from technology to economics to leadership to gardening to cooking to travel. I'll talk about Maker Festival, why we do it, how we do, and what the impacts have been. Maker Festival brings together Toronto’s most creative people and projects, in order to inspire openness to possibilities, a sense of active participation in shaping our world, and a yearning for a more wonder-filled tomorrow. Makers of all types (electronics, robotics, sewing, paper crafting, glowy things, etc.etc) exhibit their DIY work and share their enthusiasm with the public. I'm happy to talk more broadly about technology and people. ## Location George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre 245 Church Street, Room 203 Ryerson University <http://goo.gl/maps/16oJ2> <http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/23447525> ## Schedule * 6:00 pm - Please discuss on the general mailing list (i.e. <talk(a)gtalug.org>) where you want to go for dinner. * 7:30 pm - Meeting and presentation. * 9:00 pm - After each meeting, a group of GTALUGers move to The Imperial Pub (54 Dundas St East) for refreshments and more socialising. # Code of Conduct We want a productive happy community that can welcome new ideas, improve every process every year, and foster collaboration between individuals with differing needs, interests and skills.
