Ohio Linux Fest Looms!
I have to take a few minutes and plug my favorite Linux event. Every year around this time a huge number of Linux geeks converge upon downtown Columbus Ohio. Registration (free!) has been open for quite some time. The even takes place October 11 and is part trade show, part geek-fest, part technical -- but it's 100% fun. You won't want to miss out on the after-event party as well. I go every year and I've loved every minute of this show. Shameless plug -- I'll be speaking this year. Don't let that scare you away though -- other people are presenting really cool stuff. There's bound to be something in there that would interest just about anyone with a Linux passion. From the web site: The sixth annual Ohio LinuxFest will be held on October 10-11, 2008 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in downtown Columbus, Ohio. Hosting authoritative speakers and a large expo, the Ohio LinuxFest welcomes Free and Open Source Software professionals, enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to take part in the event. The Ohio LinuxFest is a free, grassroots conference for the Linux/Open Source Software/Free Software community that started in 2003 as a large inter-LUG meeting and has grown steadily since. It is a place for the community to gather and share information about Linux and Open Source Software. A large expo area adjacent to the conference rooms will feature exhibits from our sponsors as well as a large .org section from non-profit Open Source/Free Software projects.

I thought that was illegal in Ohio.
Oh, wait, that's Alabama. Sorry.
Speaking of which, editors@linuxtoday.com fails.

Bob, I know. It got spammed to death. Someday I will be granted some dev time to come up with something else, like a web contact form. Gotta wait in line!
Quoting: On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
Lost in all the noise were vendors and visitors who said they were tired of the price-gouging.

I will say, that if I had had to pay the $500 or so to attend that being press relieved me of, it would have made my trip to San Francisco and LinuxWorld almost impossible. Yes, not paying the $500 just to get in made that big a difference.

Oh wait, wrong event. Sorry! Never mind!
You make it sound like fun, Paulie, instead of something to be endured. You sure you're doing this right?
