Re: [BLUG] Ohio LinuxFest

I would love to go this year, but it isn't the cards...the debt and
credit cards. Course I also have to work that weekend.

OLF has been a blast the last 2 years and I would recommend for anyone
to go if they get the chance.

Thank you,
Scott Blaydes

Re: [BLUG] Ohio LinuxFest

Just so you know, I was able to book a room over the phone at the Red
Roof Inn using the group code provided at the "Hotel" link over at
ohiolinux.org.

This was yesterday afternoon, and every online resource said the
closest hotel with availability was not comfortably within walking
distance (if you're like me, you won't want to be *driving* to your
room after the Pre Party or After Party (or After After After After
Party ;-) ).

My boss suggested just calling and seeing, and hey, it worked for me.

YMMV.

Simón

P.S. If you're unsure about whether you wanna go to OLF, Go! You won't
regret it. I'm taking my wife along, she had a blast last year even
though she wasn't particularly interested in many of the talks.

I wouldn't miss seeing Jon "maddog" Hall's talk on sustainable
computing, or Jono Bacon's keynote.

Re: [BLUG] Ohio LinuxFest

If you want to go this, get a hotel room immediately because the two
hotels connected to the convention center are already sold out.

Re: [BLUG] Happy Software Freedom Day!

And next Saturday is the 25th anniversary of free software (and my
daughter's birthday). Richard Stallman announced his intentions to make
a free operating system and the GNU project on September 27th, 1983.
