[BLUG] Indiana Linux Fest is next weekend. Please attend if you can.

The first annual Indiana Linux Fest is going to be next weekend
(Friday, Saturday and Sunday) and we're expecting a crowd. Matt,
Michael, I and others have been working really hard to put this event
together and I expect that it is going to go over very well. At least
close to the quality of Ohio Linux Fest (which is very good if you
haven't been). We have a wide range of speakers from all over the
country as well as some great music acts on Saturday night at the after
party.

I hope that all of you will find the time to attend this event.
Details about the event and attending can be found on the website at

http://www.indianalinux.org/

If you're planning on attending and staying overnight, we'd really
appreciate that and would ask that you please reserve your room at the
Wyndham through our website and do so as soon as possible, the deadline
for registration I think is March 20th (this Sunday). We need to fill
those rooms as much as possible so that we don't have to pay the
difference and every bit helps.

Support passes are another great way to help support the event so be
sure to check those out. Plus buying a supporter pass gives you a
chance to win a Nook Color or Archos 70.

Thanks and see you there.
