  This is a celebration of all the accomplishments of Open Source Software since the release of the first Linux kernel in August 1991. Participants and enthusiasts of Open Source software, more than just Linux, are welcome.
  The Sunnyvale, California (Silicon Valley) picnic is usually scheduled each year for the Saturday following the LinuxWorld Expo in San Francisco.

  Wi-Fi at the Picnic! The Silicon Valley Wireless Users & Experimenters (SVWUX) organized wireless Internet connectivity for the West Coast Picn*x 15 in 2006 and Picn*x 16 in 2007. A lot of volunteer effort went into planning the locations of antennas and Wi-Fi repeaters to cover the whole picnic area.
  Many thanks to Finisar who generously provided the Internet connection from their offices across the street from the park at Picn*x 15 and 16. Thanks also to Tom Minnis for arranging a microwave Internet backhaul link for Picn*x 16 as well.
  SVWUX plans to do the same thing at Picn*x 17.
  Tech/project demos at the Linux Picnic The West Coast Linux Picnic will have technology and Open Source project demo stations at various tables. We ask that you sign up ahead of time so we can plan where to arrange them.
