Ontario Linux Fest 2010, rest in peace...

[ted leslie]

in listening to the tllts.org podcast the other day, the self has 5-7 organizers.
i am getting the impression the ontario didn't have nearly as many?
I know from listening to dave "sexy" yates on tllts, he makes it sound like its a huge amount of work
for the 5-7 of them.
maybe its not to late for others to step in,
or get a decent sized group to organize next years.
obviously many organizers mean you don't overload any give one,
which it sounds like, may have happened here.
