Hi everybody,
Wow. What a week. The organizing committee is running at just about
full-speed now, getting things ready for Ontario Linux Fest. We've had
a flurry of new confirmed speakers and confirmed sponsors. And there
are still conversations in progress to settle some remaining spots.
The biggest news is the addition of Research In Motion Limited to the
list of major sponsors. We know that Linux-folks love their Blackberry(r)
devices. RIM is showing their love for Ontario Linux Fest. You'll get
a kick out of what the folks at RIM have planned for the event. And
that, my friends, is what I call a "teaser."
If your favourite GNU/Linux company isn't already on our list of
sponsors, they may very well appear in the next few days. If you have
been thinking about sponsoring Ontario Linux Fest, get in touch with us
now. We have printing deadlines looming and want to include you!
Registration is picking up nicely. I'm glad that we booked the extra
space at the venue. For those of you who have not completed your
registration. Hey? Why not? And tell all of your friends, family and
colleagues to register now too. http://onlinux.ca/olfreg
The Ontario Linux Fest organizing committee is thrilled to have secured
additional top notch presenters and topics. We have something for
everybody with the addition of Performance Tuning and Optimization for
High-Traffic Web Sites, and Eclipse for your technical needs. We've
also added Yoga for Geeks as a special lunchtime participation session.
"Limber-up those Geeks for the afternoon presentations," that's what I
say! See the full list of confirmed presentations

Great news for our out-of-town attendees! Both our hotel blocks have
extended the deadline for reduced rate booking. Even our Toronto
attendees should be looking at getting a hotel room if they are planning
to enjoy a grown-up beverage at our post-event reception!

We're also lining up some interesting Birds of a Feather sessions. So
keep your eyes peeled for our announcements as we roll into October.
See you at the 'Fest!
