Fort Worth Linux Users Group Discussion Board

Saturday, April 10, 2010 - Monarch Events Center - Austin, Texas

From: http://www.texaslinuxfest.org/

"Texas Linux Fest is the first state-wide, community-run conference for Linux and open source software users and enthusiasts from around the Lone Star State. Much like SCALE in Los Angeles, Ohio Linux Fest in Columbus, and Linux Fest Northwest -- and an ever-growing list of successful regional shows -- Texas Linux Fest is a weekend event geared towards individual users, rather than an expensive multi-workday expo that might cater primarily to sponsored attendees. Whether you use free software and Linux at home, in your place of business, in your school or non-profit, or you are simply curious, Texas Linux Fest offers something for you."

While it isn't official quite yet, it looks like I will be going down there for the event! Whoohoo!

Anyone else planning on going?

Hmm sounds like fun, I wonder if they will have swag goodies

Did anyone else go? I didn't see anyone else down there However, it was a blast!
Here is my review if anyone cares to look it over: http://backedbyapenguin.wordpress.com/2 ... st-review/

I was there. If fact it looks like I was in most of the same talks. The only one I found disappointing was the "email in the cloud" discussion. It wasn't a bad talk. Just not what I expected. It essentially boiled down to setup an IMAP server on your home workstation and point your mobile devices to that.

All in all it was a lot of fun. I especially liked the talk Max gave on education and open-source even though it was geared more towards college education.
