When I go to register for the event, I get a Security Alert! What gives? Is this some sort of scam?
This problem occurs on Microsoft Windows (even with the Mozilla Firefox browser) and some Linux distributions. The message occurs because the Ohio LinuxFest's SSL certificate is signed by CACert.org, the community oriented certificate authority. Unfortunately, the CACert.org root certificate is not included in many browsers yet.
Please import the CACert root certificate into your browser to avoid this security alert.
