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.
