Aloha LUG'ers.

Ohio LinuxFest is proud to recognize two such community members by
announcing Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier and Jono Bacon as keynote speakers
for this year's Ohio LinuxFest occurring October 10th - 11th.

Zonker is the openSUSE Community Manager, where he puts the word out
about openSUSE and works to grow the openSUSE project by verifying
the project has the needed support and tools. Zonker has contributed
to books on many Open Source topics. He has also written for many
publications, including Linux Magazine, Sys Admin, IBM developerWorks,
Linux Weekly News, Enterprise Linux Magazine, ZDNet, Unix Review,
NewsForge.com and Linux.com.

Jono is the Ubuntu Community Manager, where he helps advocate Ubuntu
and empowers community members in the Ubuntu community to have their
goals, and visions become part of Ubuntu. With his involvement in
LugRadio and the recently ended LugRadio Live, Jono has found time to
contribute to many books, including Linux Desktop Hacks, Building the
Perfect Website with PHP and MySQL, PHP and MySQL Web Applications:
Building Eight Dynamic Web Sites and The Official Ubuntu Book. He also
has published articles in Linux User and Developer, Linux Format and
Linux Magazine.

Ohio LinuxFest meets at the Greater Columbus Convention
Center (GCCC) from October 10 through October 12. The expo, keynotes
and presentations happen October 11. A free Enthusiasts Pass grants
admission to the Ohio LinuxFest expo and presentations. A Supporter
Pass is available for $65 to attendees who wish to help offset the
costs of the conference.

Ohio LinuxFest will offer a Professional Pass, which will include
the Ohio LinuxFest University training program on October 10, for a
registration cost of $350 a person.
