For those people with little or no experience, on Friday September 25, 2009, FreeGeek Columbus and Ohio LinuxFest will offer a special training class that will cover the basics of Ubuntu Linux. This is an excellent opportunity for people curious about Linux, those who are eager for a more formal introduction, and system administrators looking for a quick-start in new skills. Those who have more experience and those who are Linux professionals should consider OLFU for advanced tutorials. Ohio LinuxFest is partnered with League of Professional System Administrators (LOPSA) for the professional training program of OLFU; and are offering Linux Professional Institute LPI Level One Certification. For those who are interested in programming, Ohio LinuxFest will present on Friday September 25, 2009, a one day hackathon. It will be a day dedicated to design meetings, coding, and bug squashing. Saturday, September 26, 2009, come for the Expo and presentations. Check out the presentations throughout the day. There is bound to quite a few that you will want to attend. Talk with people of like mind in the Birds of a Feather sessions (BOF). Make new friends or renew old friendships. Diversity in Open Source will be on Sunday September 27. Join us in the Champaign room of the Hyatt for a day of encouraging diversity in the Open Source world. A mix of talks and open discussion will help attendees identify biases and learn ways to break down barriers, invisible or blatant. Also on Sunday, the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) BSD Certification Group (BSDCG) will offer the BSDA certification exam to attendees of Ohio LinuxFest 2009. During Ohio LinuxFest be sure to take advantage of advancing your Linux and Open Source credentials by taking discounted LPI exams.
