Ohio LinuxFest - October, 2003

["William R. Lorenz" <wrl@express.org>]

Greetings,

I just wanted to take some time to let everyone know about the upcoming
Ohio LinuxFest in Columbus, Ohio.  We have lots of exciting things
planned, including some excellent speakers and a GnuPG Key-Signing event.  
I know that lots of people are planning to head to the area the night
before, do some socializing, and take up hotels before the morning; others
plan to drive to the event that morning for Saturday's all-day event.  I
know that we have quite a few people carpooling to the event, as well.

We do have specific driving directions from Chicago & Springfield posted
on our website, and I've calculated the drive time via MapQuest to be
about 5.75 hours or thereabouts, so I wanted to make sure you guys know
about the event and are invited to come. :) Lots of information can be
found on our http://www.ohiolinux.org/ website; I'll also be glad to
personally answer any questions anyone might have about this event.

We have David Coulson talking about User-Mode Linux, which can be used to
setup virtual Linux machines without hardware emulation.  I believe he's
also going to offer UML Co-Op <www.umlcoop.net> registrations, although I
don't know for sure.  David has given his presentation to the Linux Users
Group of Cleveland (of which I am Vice-President, I might add :) and also
the Cincinnati GNU/Linux Users Group, and it's quite good.  David worked
in the past at VA Linux, and he has some very good things to share.

We'll also have a talk from Scott Collins, a Mozilla developer and former
Netscape employee who designed and implemented the bulk of Mozilla's XPCOM
type-safe and leak resistant object management facilities.  He'll be
sharing his own thoughts on Mozilla's past, present, and future.  Mozilla
recently embraced a new direction with their Firebird & similar projects.

More speakers and information are posted on the website for all to see.

Lots of great things will be happening, and we'll have lots of great
people there, I know that for sure.  I do hope some of you guys come!
