Ohio Linux Fest Looms!

,----[ Quote ]
| I have to take a few minutes and plug my favorite Linux event. Every year
| around this time a huge number of Linux geeks converge upon downtown Columbus
| Ohio. Registration (free!) has been open for quite some time. The even takes
| place October 11 and is part trade show, part geek-fest, part technical --
| but it's 100% fun.

Software Freedom Day in Boston is a Wealth for the Commons: Saturday, September
20, 2008

,----[ Quote ]
| It's Saturday and a roomful of people are advising each other on modifying
| their mobile devices, optimizing their GNU/Linux systems and organizing for
| software freedom. But it's not a room full of experts - at least not mostly.
| Artists, activists, students and others want the freedom to do anything they
| want with their computers and they're here to learn new tricks and garner
| shortcuts from each other.
