First off, FOSS Fair was a lot of fun, and I really look foward to the next one. But, I think we can run it better next time. So, here are my thoughts.
We were disadvantaged this FOSS Fair by our late start date and our lack of connections. Fortunately, next year we can get started earlier, and we have a few key ideas:
"But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive." -- 1 Corinthians 15:20-22
When I was at PyCon, I hung out with @jacobian, @brainwane, and some others while they were painting their nails. The subject turned to religion, and I quickly realized as a person who wasn't a secular humanist, I was a bit of an outlier.
When asked, I began talking about some of what's in the Bible. Jacob asked, "So, you believe the things in the Bible actually happened?" I said "yes." The conversation didn't last long afterwards...we were interrupted by something, I forget what. But given that it's Easter, I'd just like to expound a bit on how that idea is relevant to Christ's resurrection.
The attitude I see a lot of humanists have towards religion is, "Hey, believe whatever you want, so long as it makes you a better person." In

| Dear Sen. Tillis, | |
| While it may be the case that some unnecessary regulations are overburdening | |
| our small businesses, the idea that requiring employees to wash their hands | |
| after using the bathroom is unnecessary is completely disgusting. Washing | |
| hands is acknowledged by every medical authority ever as a critical way to | |
| prevent the spread of germs and other contaminants. The idea that public | |
| establishments should be able to forgo such requirements shows a serious | |
| lack of concern for the health of your constituents. I strongly encourage | |
| you to apologize for your use of hand-washing as an example of an "unnecessary |

The most common library for networking in Lua is LuaSocket by Diego Nehab. In addition to low-level support for communicating directly through sockets, it also includes:
| class Hello < Thor | |
| include Thor::Actions | |
| desc "hello NAME", "says hello to the given NAME" | |
| def hello (name="World") | |
| say "Hello, #{name}! It's nice to meet you!" | |
| end | |
| end |
