Start with a hot, dark organic espresso. Enjoy it at a window counter overlooking Bickford Park. The 802.11b covers the south end of the park nicely, and it's free with any purchase.

Several groups of open source enthusiasts meet here regularly; GTA-lug (a.k.a TLUG), Ruby, Python, Asterisk (upcoming workshop) and the Toronto 2600. linux newbies hang around (and occasionally clean up) gurus visit, consultants pin their cards to the bulletin board and authors make their books available for sale. There's a row of penguin buttons and t-shirts and pocket protectors are on the way.

If you're looking for a fresh burned linux distro, we'll cook one up ! The CD burner and the panini grill take about the same amount of time (hint, hint) There are software CDs for every platform food for any appetite. The drinks are in the fridge and frozen treats in air-conditioned comfort make a scorching summers day almost bearable.

The rentable internet terminals (old IBM thinkpads as thin-clients) are still in development, but the prototype works nicely. When they're ready, they will be available starting at $3/ for the first hour and $1 after. A range of peripherals will be available a la carte. There are 4 levels of membership offering future benefits [vapour warning] like /home/ hard drive space, wiki and blog space, rental discounts and more !
