On behalf of the MIX team, I am excited to announce Open Source Fest at MIX11! Open Source Fest is an event for open source project leaders to come and show off their great open http://live.visitmix.com/source projects … with some prizes too!.

The evening event, held on Monday April 11^th, will be open to all MIX11 attendees and those in attendance can vote on their favorite open source projects. The winners will get a prize and some recognition at MIX11, but the key is the chance to showcase the open source projects by the community, stir the collective brainpower, and network. There will be food, drinks, a fun atmosphere, and a chance to meet many of the MIX11 speakers and attendees. Voting results will be announced at MIX11.

Please follow @MixEvent and me @john_papa for more details about MIX11!

Once you have registered, we’ll provide a small table in the event room where you can show your open source project (or point to your informational site) and a tall sign so folks can identify your project.
