Even before the release of Ubuntu Edgy, scheduled for October 26, Mark Shuttleworth and his team are already gearing up for their “Feisty Fawn.”
“In the next cycle we’ll expand on the brand new infrastructure that has landed in Edgy as well as branching out in some exciting new directions. This combination of courage and restlessness is also found in a young deer that sets out to explore a world that is new and exciting – seeing the world through eyes unprejudiced by what has gone before.”
To start Saturday morning off none of the Columbus Convention Center could tell me where the right ballrooms were, so I walked around for over an hour until finding another Linux fan wandering as well. We finally found the place and all was well.
After checking in I walked around looking at the vendors that showed up. Just to name a few, Gnome, IBM, Red Hat/Fedora (each had their own booth), Asterisk, Novell, LinuxBox, and Sun Microsystems just to name a few.
Here’s just a few pictures that I took of the events.
After walking around for a little over an hour this was a sweet sight to see.
Down with DRM!!! I’m just kidding, its the pick sign that made me say it.
IBM was there in full force. The woman you see behind the
was apart of the Virtualization panel.
Novell, I don’t know what to say. Actually I should have told them that my college
was switching from Novell to Windows.
I’m happy to see that at-least somebody was at the Fedora table.
This was an overhead shot that I tool of the events. Looks like a great turnout.
Chris DiBona from Google was the fill-in keynote speaker. Jeff Waugh missed his connecting
flight to Columbus. Jeff was in later to speak on Gnome and the outlook of Open Source.
Even though I didn’t get to make it to LinuxWorld Boston I was still happy to make it to Ohio’s LinuxFest. I was little disappointed in the virtualization presentation but all-in-all a good experience.
