Oregon State Firefox Celebration
October 19th, 2005I am cross posting this from the OSLUG website because it is so darn cool.
–
What: Launching “Firefox One”, an Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium balloon satellite
Where: Memorial Union Quad
When: Saturday, October 22nd at high-noon (12pm, 2 hours before the review-fest)
Why: Last time we took back the sidewalk, this time we are going to 100,000ft
Who: Anyone who wants to celebrate 100,000,000 downloads and help launch the weather balloon
The Oregon State Linux Users Group, Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium, and the OSU Open Source Lab teamed up to launch “Firefox One”, a balloon satellite capable of carrying a 14lb payload to 100,000ft in elevation. Our payload will be a large Firefox banner, CD, and camera to take photos of Firefox at the edge of space.
Tell your classmates, family, and anyone else you can think of to come and help do the launch! The event will be centered at the MU quad, so if you cannot make it physically, you can watch from the MU webcam.
