Live Nude Penguins and Free Beer
Rumor has it that the Columbus Zoo will be bringing a pair of penguins to the event, and that this year's after party will have free beer. There is a BLOG online this year, which has information about the event at http://penguin.ohiolinux.org/blog/.

Re:Cincinnati
It's not in Cincinnati, but Ohio LinuxFest has an event this September in Columbus. I went last year and it wasn't bad. If you know of anything in the Cinci area though, let me know.

Surpsingly, Ohio is full of geek eventsThere is a surprising amount of activity here these days:
- Notacon http://notacon.org/ - annual hacker/art/technology convention in Cleveland
- Hamvention http://hamvention.org/ - Annual HAM radio festival in Dayton
- Ohio Linux Fest http://ohiolinux.org/- well, you already know about this one
- FOURTEEN LUGS!!! I couldn't believe it myself, but i found this out when doing research to help promote Linuxfest
- 2600 groups, Perl Mongers groups, Snort Users groups...all kinds of other assorted user groups.
- Countless amounts of businesses based around OSS. Pantek http://pantek.com/, Hurricane Labs http://hurricanelabs.com/, N2Net http://n2net.net/, several of our sponsors rely on OSS for their core business, and give quite a bit back to the community.

Things You Need To Know
I'm one of the organizers this year, and I wanted to make sure that the following useful information made it out to people who are considering attending. We have worked our tails off this year to make sure that Ohio Linuxfest 2005 will be the best Linuxfest yet. So here are some things that you need to know to take full advantage of everything that we are providing.
1. 16 Hours of Fun (8:00 AM to Midnight) - Doors open at 8:00 AM, and the post-conference reception starts at 8:00 PM, complete with food and beverages (of the sudsy variety) generously provided by our Sponsors. Froggy, from http://www.notacon.org/ will be our DJ this year. Consider safety first! If you plan on drinking, don't drive. Consider one of the fine Hotels in the area, which brings us to...
2. Hotel Accommodations - http://www.ohiolinux.org/hotels.html. The Drury Inn Suites, directly attached to the Greater Columbus Convention Center, is the the official Ohio LinuxFest 2005 hotel. A group rate is available for limited number of rooms. BOOK EARLY! DO NOT WAIT!
3. Schedule - http://www.ohiolinux.org/schedule.html. There are now THREE conference tracts to choose from. Take some time and figure out what you want to attend in advance.
4. REGISTER NOW! - http://www.ohiolinux.org/register.html. The event is free, and registration is free, but onsite donations are encouraged and appreciated to help defray expenses. We need to know roughly how many people plan on attending (for Insurance and Legal reasons) and we also need to be able to let you know about new developments as they, well, develop!
5. Food - http://www.columbusconventions.com/food_food.htm. You will be within walking distance of a ton of options for Lunch and Dinner. The schedule allows for plenty of time to eat and socialize.
6. Spread The Love - http://www.ohiolinux.org/promotion.html. Get the word out! Aside from the regular contingent of Linux techies, we want to reach out to the educational and business worlds and help EDUCATE them about Linux and the Linux Community. Please help us as much as you can. Tell a friend, hand out some flyers, get your LUG involved!
7. Get Involved - http://www.ohiolinux.org/getinvolved.html. It takes a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to organize an event of this magnitude that can be enjoyed by so many, and we can use all the help we can get. It really is a labor of love. Join up with the Ohio LinuxFest team to participate in organizing this year's event, and help shape an event that will be remembered by many for years to come. To sign on with the team, please send a note to team@ohiolinux.org and introduce yourself!
See you on October 1st! -

Free and Worth Every Minute!
We're not a 501c3 organization this year, and so we don't have the needed infrastructure in order to charge for admission. We do have some CafePress gear available with a $1.00 markup on each item to help us cover some of the costs we're footing from our personal funds. No donations required, though. Besides, it's better when it's free (sex AND conferences)!
We have some excellent speakers coming in this year from Red Hat, Novell (SUSE), the Apache Software Foundation, the Samba Team, and more. We're having an excellent speaker on the Asterisk PBX for Linux and VoIP technologies.
Hosted at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio and with plenty to see and do in the city during the visit, as well! I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of friends this year, and the afterparty should be grand! -
Ohio LinuxFest 2004 Speakers Announced
Speaking of conferences and events, the Ohio LinuxFest 2004 speakers were just announced. There will be speakers representing Red Hat, Novell, Apache Software Foundation, Samba, and more. It's a free event (unlike many others) to be hosted in October and in Columbus, Ohio. It should be an excellent time for all this year!
