A three day celebration of hope and peace at the Tarvid homestead, 61 Caprine Lane, Independence, VA 24348. starting at 6:00 PM July 3rd through 6:00 PM July 6th. Google maps are close. Look for the welcome sign.
There will be three threads - Drupal websites, Ubuntu installations and Community building. Drupal is a "content management system" which when configured provides for a high degree of end user content creation. Ubuntu is a "free" computer operating system (think not Microsoft). Community is what we make of it.
We will sit, walk, sing, pray, talk, work, play together. All faith backgrounds welcome, but you should prepared to encounter Buddhists, Sufis, Muslims, Hindus and Christians sometimes all wrapped up in the same person.

“I was only 17 at the time that Esequiel Hernández was killed, but even people
older than me, people of my parents' generation, didn't know about his story...
and I started wondering why it was that his story had vanished."
— Kieran Fitzgerald, filmmaker
In 1997, U.S. Marines patrolling the Texas-Mexican border as part of the war on drugs
shot and killed Esequiel Hernández Jr. Mistaken for a drug runner, the 18 year old was,
in fact, a U.S. citizen tending his family's goats with a .22 rifle. He became the first
American killed by U.S. military forces on native soil since the 1970 Kent State shootings.
The Ballad of Esequiel Hernández, narrated by Tommy Lee Jones, explores Hernández's
