[wplug] [InterLUG] Ohio LinuxFest 2004 Announcement (fwd)

They aimed high when selecting speakers. IBM had signed on but had
canceled around the week before. The speaker who was to talk about
"user-mode linux" also canceled. abstracts can be read here
http://www.ohiolinux.org/speakers.html

This year they are looking a variety of speakers to fill non/less tech
track and a very tech track. I hope they concentrate on booking speakers
that won't bail out. None of the speakers were paid, even for
transportation.

James-
You could talk about general newbie *nix stuff.
You could talk about how host your own websites for fun and profit.
You could talk about openafs.
All of the above has been requested for a wplug talk

I personally have sent the organizers mail suggesting BOFs (Birds of a
Feather sessions) with several topics that I could be a BOF leader for.
No response but it's early yet.

Thanks,
Beth Lynn
