FreedomHEC

Coming to Seattle in May for that other hardware conference?

On your way out, don't just cry in your beer about your stolen Christmas -- stay for the hardware unconference where you're in charge.

Instead of telling you to "get prepared" for a software vendor's surprises, FreedomHEC makes you a first-class citizen of the platform.

Forget "There's no mass Linux market!" vs. "There's not enough hardware support!" The chicken/egg dilemma is over. The chickens are busting out.

Who: Hardware engineers and driver developers

What: High-intensity learning, networking and empowerment unconference

Where: Seattle, Washington, USA

When: May 26-27, 2006

Why: Take control of your own destiny and make your hardware valuable to the growing Linux market.
