I'm from Michigan and I went last year for the first time and enjoyed it 
so much I'm already booked for this year.  Asterisk/Digium guy will be 
there and Bradley Kuhn is a MUST see for the GPL/OS lovers out there.

I believe Beth Lynn, one of the OhioLinuxFest organizers, predicted the 
Linux takeover would hit critical mass this summer, will be nice to hear 
a list of all the ways John Doe uses Linux everyday, even if it's not 
the Desktop.

Looks like a good number of Linux tracks Friday and Saturday.  I'm 
getting excited.

Instead of taking the LPIC test on Sunday at a discount rate, I'll 
probably attend the Diversity in Open Source Workshop again to see how 
we can make the ladies and other diverse groups more welcome in the 
Linux community.

I hope Penguicon here in Michigan has this much Linux/OS/GPL loving 
going on next year.

Hopefully Jorge will be there Friday for UbuCon to help get the party 
rolling.  Last years parties weren’t too shabby, got my picture with Mad 
Dog and a beer....

In my world, this is a MUST attend for any Linux enthusiast in a state 
that touches Ohio.
