Ohio LinuxFest 2010

The Ohio LinuxFest is excited to announce the 2010 keynote speakers:

Stormy Peters

and

Christopher "Monty" Montgomery

.

The eighth annual Ohio LinuxFest announces it's Call for Participation. This year's theme is "Saving the World with FOSS."

We're looking for all sorts of talks about Free & Open Source Software. Done something new and nifty? Developed new Open Source Software? Is your living room a geek dream? Do you play with FOSS for a living?

Any type of Free & Open Source Software can help save the world! Last year over 1300 people came to hear about Open Source. Submit your presentation and maybe you can be showing it to hundreds of people.

Christopher (Monty) Montgomery, Open Source multimedia advocate and developer of Ogg Vorbis, will be a keynote speaker at this year's Ohio LinuxFest.

Due to a huge last minute rush of registrations at the Ohio LinuxFest 2009, we found ourselves short on tee-shirts for people that registered as Ohio LinuxFest supporters. About 50 rain checks were turned in and we had extra shirts printed up and are in the process of sending those out now via regular mail. Please excuse the egregious delay on sending out the missing shirts, which is entirely mea cupla. If you have any questions please send mail to mike@ohiolinux.org.

Folks,

Last year's Keynote Speaker and OLFU instructor Shawn Powers and his family have suffered a terrible loss. Their house burned down. Thankfully they were out of the house at the time, but they lost all their belongings and, sadly, all their pets.

If you're able, please help.

Stormy Peters, Executive Director of the GNOME Foundation, will be a keynote speaker at this years Ohio Linux Fest
