Ontario Linux Fest - Two months to go
It is hard to believe that Ontario Linux Fest is coming up in just two
short months.  Where did the summer go?  It seems like just a moment
ago, the organizing committee decided to do this and started by
locating a venue.  And how we have made progress since then!

What is Ontario Linux Fest?
Ontario Linux Fest will be held Saturday 13 October 2007 at the
Toronto Congress Centre near the Toronto airport.  We'll run all day
with fascinating and informative presentations from key Open Source
developers and advocates.  We'll have an exhibition area where you can
meet with our sponsors and learn about their projects and products.
And most importantly you'll mix and mingle with other key players in
F/LOSS.  Register now to reserve your spot http://onlinux.ca/olfreg
