Another Year of LinuxFest Northwest (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Tuesday May 6, 2014 @06:36AM from the volunteer-for-15-years-and-you-get-15-shirts-with-logos-on-them dept.

We last interviewed LinuxFest volunteer Jakob Perry in January, 2013, when he and the rest of the crew that makes this event happen were gearing up for their 14th version of this outstanding regional Linux/FOSS conference. Now they've gotten through LinuxFest 15, which makes this one of the longest-lasting Linux shows around. And Jakob is still helping to put it together, as he has since he was a teenager. Since he's been with LinuxFest Northwest since the beginning, this gives him some serious longevity cred, especially when you realize that he has been volunteering with LFNW since he was 15 years old -- and hasn't seemed to lose a bit of his enthusiasm in all that time.

I hope you realize your intro makes this thing sound like the local cat show for computing.

  Don't worry. If people don't like it, they'll just fork it into 100 different competing conferences.
