Fedora will be exhibiting at LinuxFest NorthWest

What, When, Where

LinuxFest NorthWest (LFNW) 2018

LinuxFest Northwest (LFNW) 2018 is the 19th annual premier Linux event in the northwestern U.S. Two days of Linux related talks, exhibition space for clubs and vendors, after-fest event on Saturday and the World Famous Raffle. About 2600 people attended in 2017.

Registration

The event is free but you will need a badge to get into events, so register online and you can pick up your badge at the Friday Night Party or at the festival.

Accommodations

Two hotels near the conference and airport have special LFNW rates and there are many other hotels in the area.

Fedora Workstation

For students and professionals, Fedora offers the stable Workstation. Fedora Workstation allows for multitasking, multiple monitors, and many Office and Development applications. Fedora is not only an alternative to competing OS's, it is a stable replacement.

Mindshare

Why

  • Connect with educators, students and developers interesting in Fedora and Python.
    • Held at Bellingham Technical College, LFNW attracts students and instructors from other Technical colleges using Linux and Python.
    • WWU is Washington State’s teachers college where Python qualifies as a math requirement. WWU students, teachers and staff attend LFNW.
    • Buses bring developers from tech companies in Seattle, Vancouver and beyond. Many of these developers use python and are interested in contributing to open source.

Focus

  • Fedora Python Classroom
    • Fedora solution for teaching, learning and using Python.
    • Fedora solution for teaching environments with USB key, Vagrant, Docker or installed group.

Users

We meet many current Fedora users at LFNW and a few who joined as contributors to documentation and testing.

Contributors

Many Python developers attending LFNW could contribute to Fedora Python Classroom, Fedora’s Py2 to Py3 effort, or Fedora’s Python infrastructure.

Strategy

Measures

  • Contact input from QR-connection branch of beefy-connection.
