LinuxFest Northwest 2007 looms
Mark Ashworth, one of the original founders of Linuxfest Northwest, said the conference got its start in 1998 when a small group of people invited a couple of local Unix gurus to discuss forming what became the Bellingham Linux Users Group. "We held our second meeting at Bellingham Technical College (BTC) a month later."
The next year the group held the first Linuxfest at BTC and inviting the community to participate. "One of our members designed posters and T-shirts and we held a small fest that filled a couple of rooms.
Presentations slated for this year's show include projects and firms such as One Laptop Per Child, Oracle, Google, Novell, Second Life, and the Free Software Foundation. Author Dee-Ann LeBlanc and our own Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier will also present talks.
