Attendees of the Ohio LinuxFest - or GNU/LinuxFest for GNU fans - received the following note from the organizers.

Bradley Kuhn, Jon 'maddog' Hall and Max Spevack are just a few of the speakers
that will be on-hand to talk about Linux, open source, and Free Software. We
have a full day of exciting, community oriented, presentations for everyone
who's interested in learning more about Linux and open source.

Of course, all work and no play makes for dull geeks. Drew Curtis, of FARK, and the Linux Link Tech Show will
host a conference kick-off/FARK party on Friday, September 28th (6pm till
whenever) at Barley's Brewing Company, just
across the street from the convention center. And of course, after a long
conference, we can unwind at the legendary linuxfest afterparty in the Hyatt
Regency Union Room
sponsored by GOOGLE with entertainment by
NOTACON. We'll have food and drinks from 8 p.m. until midnight.

Please help us spread the word to as many people as possible. Let them know
that the Ohio LinuxFest is taking place on Saturday, September 29, at the
