The third annual Ohio LinuxFest 2005 was held on October 1, 2005 at the Greater Columbus (Ohio) Convention Center. I think the “official” attendance count was 726, though there were probably many more who just “strolled in” and didn’t bother to be counted. Lindsey and I showed up a bit late but still got to check out some cool presentations. Some guys from CAcert were there, so I gave ‘em my ID and got “assured” by them. CAcert is a great project, in my opinion, so I donated a few bucks to ‘em, too. We mostly hung out with John and Patty of FreeLists through the night. weez talked us into getting a room and staying the night — glad we did too. The “afterparty” was better than the days activities, as I got completely smashed (photographic evidence can be found in the Ohio Linuxfest Photo Gallery. There were a bunch of people who visited our table at one point or another and hung out with us for a few. I’ll definitely be going back next year, and will have to check out notacon, since those are the guys who threw the party.
There were a number of articles written about the LinuxFest, including articles in NewsForge, KDE News, LinuxPlanet, and The Mad Penguin. If you weren’t there, you missed a good time.
