Curious about the Ohio Linuxfest

Just wondering if anyone here has attended this event and what there experiences were.
 
Also I notice the "event" page also reports to contact Joe Prostko - but I didn't see an email address.

Joe Prostko, Mike Summers, and I have attended and run the Haiku table 
at OLF in the last few years. If you search for "ohio linuxfest" on 
haiku-os.org, you can find write-ups that have been done about the 
event. Last year I wasn't able to help run the table, but I was able to 
attend for a few hours.

I can't compare to other Linux conventions, but while it's probably not 
anywhere near as big as SCaLE, it's big enough to be fun and the 
seminars are always interesting. Lots of great and interesting people, 
too. It's also free for attenders if they just want to go on the second 
day of the event. I'd highly recommend anyone wanting to attend to do so.

Thanks both Matt and Jon for the info. I live near Lansing in Michigan so it's not too far.

Jon -  by the way -  nice c++ tutorial. I'm making my way through it now..

Hiya Jon!

Keep me up to date on the OLF planning this year. If it's only Friday-Saturday I may be able to make it or help out.

Regards,
-Bryan

Great to hear from you again! I'm not sure if I can make it myself this
year, so you might want to keep in touch with Joe -- he's heading up the 
efforts this year. What have you been up to lately?

I admit I haven't attended any talks at all since I've been pretty
table-bound every year thus far.  That said, it is a great atmosphere,
and if I get a chance to catch a talk or two this year, I'll
definitely do it.  :)

I believe as long as you have an account on haiku-os.org, a hyperlink
would show up for my handle on the OLF event page, and then you could
send me a private message of sorts.  That said, by replying to your
message right now you should now know my email address.  :)  Feel free
to contact me about anything, and if you attend I hope to see you
there.  You can even help run the table if you desire, as that would
be appreciated.  :)
