Texas LinuxFest 2010: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 14:38, 1 August 2013

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.

Schedule

Friday April 9

Fedora Ambassadors are invited to Matt Domsch's house [1] for dinner. 6:30pm. Steaks, potatoes, trimmings, drinks. Guests invited too. Please RSVP to Matt.

Saturday April 10

Booth

Booth is 10 ft. by 7 ft. Electricity has been identified as available, but layout and number of outlets available has not been determined.

If needed, we can get a hardwired vLAN with DHCP. We need to request connection by email to nathaniel.gabryel.smith@gmail.com. He will maintain a list of booths to wire, and will connect them on a first-request basis.

Connections will be firewalled from the other vendors and administrative, and from the Wi-Fi (public).
We will need to supply a switch if we need more than 1 device connected.
