Ubuntu 7.04 – the “Feisty Fawn” – Mark Shuttleworth

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.”

OhioLinuxFest Update

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.

Welcome to my Sevierly-Technical weblog. I’ve always wanted to create my own blog and share my own thoughts, theories, and computer fixes that I come across in my daily workings in IT. The reason I’m finally starting a blog is because tomorrow, Saturday September 30,2006, I’ll be attending the OhioLinuxFest! I just traveled six hours from my little cozy town of Williamsport, PA to be apart of something Linux. I missed out this last spring with LinuxWorld in Boston, so I’m trying to make up for it.

To get an idea of tomorrow’s activities, check out the itinerary. I’m looking forward to the panel discussion on “Virtual Machine Managers on Linux.” I plan on taking tons of pictures and getting as much information as I can. I plan on making updates after each session or panel discussion I attend.

For those of you who couldn’t make it, and you know who you are(Mike…cough cough), you should be ashamed of yourselves for missing something like this.

Please feel free to post comments on all blog posts tomorrow. Thanks, and enjoy!
