Penguin Day Seattle - Tomorrow!

Kris and I are about to hop in the car to drive down to Seattle for Penguin Day. Are you going to be there? If not, there might still be time to register... check out the agenda to see if it floats your boat.

I will be teaching a Yoga for Geeks session, with equipment loaned by Samadhi Yoga. (Thanks so much!) It'll be short and sweet, heavy on the relaxation and some gentle stretching to balance out the frenetic and fun pace of the rest of the day.

Also on the agenda during this road trip are a Drupal Dinner tonight, and then Sunday Kris and I are going to drive up through Spokane up into Nelson, where he is speaking on Tuesday. Finally, my first trip to the Kootenays! I think this calls for a w00t!

All right, gotta run and get ready... Hugs to the Internets.

Next Yoga for Geeks Booked for Penguin Day

I spoke yesterday with Gunner of Aspiration Tech, one of the main dudes behind the Penguin Day concept. The next Penguin Day will take place in Seattle, on March 25th. From their site:

Penguin Day penguinPenguin Day Seattle will bring together non-profit technology staff and open source software (OSS) developers for a day of learning and conversation. We'll demystify open source for nonprofits, frankly address the challenges of developing open source tools for non profits, and celebrate strengths and successes of open source in the nonprofit sector. Leading open source innovators, including ONE/Northwest (Seattle), FreeGeek (Portland) and CivicActions will share their stories and knowledge.

We agreed that I would run a short lunch-hour yoga for geeks session - long enough to stretch out and unwind, but short enough to allow time to grab some lunch afterwards. So if you're planning to be there, pack some comfy clothes!

Special thanks go to Gregory Heller for helping to set it up. :) I'm pretty stoked. I've wanted to attend a Penguin Day ever since I first heard about them at Web of Change in September 2004!

About this Site

A hodge-podge of random thoughts, musings, and links – sometimes about social change, sometimes about technology and the web, sometimes about yoga, and occasionally about knitting. Sometimes (because I'm a Canadian girl with deep roots in the British Isles) I even write about the weather.

I'm a yoga teacher, founder of Yoga for Geeks, and a freelance web writer, strategist, and project manager. I also help to co-create the amazing Web of Change Conference, every September in beautiful British Columbia.
