Columbus, OHIO -- August 9, 2010 -- The Ohio LinuxFest is proud to announce that registration is now open for Ohio LinuxFest. The schedule has also been announced, and this year will feature a fantastic line-up of talks for new and experienced Linux users. The 2010 Ohio LinuxFest takes place in Columbus, Ohio at the Greater Columbus Convention Center from September 10 through September 12.
As always, the main schedule takes place on Saturday. The schedule kicks off with a keynote from GNOME Foundation Executive Director Stormy Peters, followed by five tracks of talks from open source and Linux experts like Tarus Balog, Amber Graner, Catherine Devlin, Dru Lavigne, Paul Frields, and Jon 'maddog' Hall. This year's OLF also features a special medical track for those interested in the use of free and open source software in medicine.
The final keynote will be a real treat for Linux and open source enthusiasts interested in free media. Christopher "Monty" Montgomery of Xiph.org will be talking about next generation open source media formats.
