------------COUNTDOWN TO OHIO LINUXFEST 2009------------
It's only a little more than a month from now, the seventh Ohio
LinuxFest. This year we will be celebrating 40 years of Unix!
If you haven't heard, we are very excited and proud to have Doug McIlroy
give a key note address this year. Doug was the head of research
department at Bell Laboratories where Unix was invented and is credited
for the inventing Unix pipes as well as writing many of the Unix tools
we still use in some form today.
Shawn Powers of the Linux Journal will give an address on the current
state of Linux, 40 years after the invention of Unix.
Dr. Peter Salus, Bdale Garbee, and Elizabeth Garbee will be returning
this year, and more speakers will be announce shortly.
Again, as last year, a set of training classes will be held on Friday
before the main conference. These classes are available with the
Professional Package registration, and if you are interested, you may
upgrade your registration online at ohiolinux.org. Space is limited, so
please register early.
Classes include:
* LPI Certification Level One Cram
* Black Magic: Troubleshooting and System Administration
* Disaster Recovery - Will You Survive?
* Spam Filtering With Open-Source Tools
* Linux Terminal Server Project Administration
* Advanced Security - A Self-Assessment Study
* Introduction to LDAP: Provisioning, Managing, and Integrating
See [http://www.ohiolinux.org/olfu.html] for information and details.
A Diversity in Open Source workshop will be held on Sunday September 27.
Please join the conversation on how to improve the way we work together
and attract much needed talent to the open source development model.
We are quite pleased to announce Novell is a Platinum Level sponsor
Digium as a Gold Level sponsor of Ohio LinuxFest 2009. Other sponsors
include Hurricane Labs, Zenoss, Scalable Informatics, Linux Fund, Red
Hat, and Peak 10. There is still time left to be a contributing
organization. Please send sponsorship inquires to [email protected].
As we are a 501c3 non-profit organization, we depend on sponsorships and
attendee registration fees to hold the Ohio LinuxFest. Given the
current economic downturn, we are proud to move forward, but if you
haven't done so, please consider purchasing the Supporter Package. With
the valuable support from you, we can continue the tradition of Ohio
LinuxFest.
Finally, we would like to make an appeal to you to help us get the word
out. Time is short! Please tell your friends, coworkers, fellow
students, and fellow LUG members about the Ohio LinuxFest. Send emails,
post blog entries, and invite people. We have banners and audio at
ohiolinux.org and please feel free to use and distribute.
Thank you and see you in Columbus, Mike
PS.
