Linuxfest Northwest 2004

Posted by michael on from the you-weren't-doing-anything-anyway dept.

An Yong Zheng writes "Linuxfest Northwest is back, and it's better than ever! LFNW is a showcase for what Northwest Linux users are doing with Linux and open source software. It's a place for Linux enthusiasts to get together to share their passion for what good software can do. It also happens to be the biggest grass roots Linux event in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. It's sponsored by a consortium of regional linux users groups from Oregon, Idaho, Washington, British Columbia, Canada and hosted by the Bellingham Tech. college."

    So I wonder what makes this event deserve an announcement on Slashdot, versus OSW (Canadian event) for which my story has been rejected.

    I am glad that stuff like this gets posted, but seriously, why can't we have equality around here?

    in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia
    British Columbia is part of the Pacific Northwest.

    This is like saying "Europe and England" or "Asia and Japan."

      I'm sure that from someone's perspective that it may be, but speaking as a Canadian, I *Know* that when someone says "Pacific Northwest" that they mean the northwestern states.

      From My perspective, BC is "West" not "Northwest"... If you asked what was "northwest" in Canada, you'd find the Yukon. :p

    ....right here.

    Some cool speakers will be there - Dennis Sosnoski (various Java stuff), Rasmus Lerdorf (PHP).
