Yes, you no longer need to travel to Ohio for OLF, or LA for SCaLE to
get good quality Free/Libre Open Source Software education and
entertainment, as it's now being brought back to the southeast.
Moreover unlike some other conferences, you can get into this one for
free.
We also have a great exhibit hall with a nice mix of community
projects and open source companies.
So, you ask, how can I find out more, and register for SELF? Easy,
just go to: http://southeastlinuxfest.org
If you are on the east coast, particularly southern or central, or if you just
want to witness the return of Linux in the GNU/South,
don’t miss the SouthEast LinuxFest, it is truly going to be a blast.
The SouthEast LinuxFest is a community event for anyone who wants to learn more
about Linux and Free & Open Source software. It is part educational conference,
and part social gathering. Like Linux itself, it is shared with attendees of all skill levels
to communicate tips, ideas, and to benefit all who use Linux/Free and Open Source Software.
LinuxFest is the place to learn, to make new friends, to network with new business partners,
and most importantly, to have fun!
