Ohio Linux Festival 2005

corso64 writes "Ohio Linux Fest 2005, a free conference/event for Linux and OSS enthusiasts, looks to be every bit as good, if not better than Ohio Linux Fest 2004. Last year, IBM, Novell, Apache, Beowulf, Mozilla, along with Jon "Maddog" Hall made Ohio Linux Festival 2004 a huge success along with tons of swag, freebies, and door prizes (including a Linus-autographed cdrom of the original source release of Linux). This year IBM, Novell, Apache, Digium, KDE and others will be doing sessions on Asterisk, KDE, Digital Forensics,Unified Threat Management, Ubuntu, Server Farms and lots of other topics. Check it out this October 1st!"

Well, its about time something nice happens in ohio.

Too bad none of the actual people here know about OSS.
In middle America, FOSS still faces the daunting ignorance that surrounds it intrinsically. We tend to believe that if it is free, it is stolen, or bad. I hope that this kind of thing can spread awareness to places like Ohio to let people know that there is a great horizon, and we are approaching it. FOSS is the future!

Yeah, sure OSU is here, and there are the big companies like Nationwide and BankOne, but other than that, we aren't are very technologically advanced state.

I would go, but, i well, don't have time, and, well, I am the only one in the city (Worthington, that is), that knows what Linux is.

At least it is nice to know that someone cares. Maybe next year then. (God I hope there will be a next year!)
