[LUNI] Chicago Free and Open Source Conference

[Roberto Serrano]

The "Uber" discussion became Flourish....

Most of the people that where pushing for that where UIC LUG members - as
you know - so when the interest from most of the community was not
materializing, we took it upon ourselves to make something happen.  Flourish
was the result.

We are going for another run this coming April.  We are hoping to have a
bigger audience and go from 180 overall to about 300.  But, we are not
increasing the scope of the event because we lack man-power - we are planing
to have around 14 activities for 2 days, same as this year.

If  we get more help, like I suggested, maybe we could do a third day with a
focus on the desktop.
