You might think that after attending a dozen or so Linux and FOSS-related shows in the last year, that I’d stop getting excited about upcoming shows — but, you’d wrong! Especially when it comes to the Ohio LinuxFest (OLF), which is coming up on October 11, in Columbus, Ohio.

The Ohio LinuxFest is one of my favorite community driven shows. The entire thing is organized by volunteers, and attendance is free for anyone who wants to show up — though they also have a Supporter Package for $65 for the people who want to spend money to support the event. And, yes, a lot of people actually want to spend the $65, since it goes to a good cause and helps ensure that the event continues every year.

I’m doubly excited about this year’s event, because I’m going to be doing the morning keynote. (I’ll be blogging more about that…)

Want to learn more about OLF? One of the Ohio LinuxFest rockstars, Beth Lynn Eicher, is going to be on the Linux Link Tech Show tonight to talk about what goes in to organizing the event, and what there is to look forward to. Beth Lynn will be on at 8:30 Eastern, so don’t miss it. (Well, if you do, they will have podcasts after the fact…)

If you haven’t registered – do it! It’s a Saturday very well spent. Lots of great talks, a great group of people, and a ton of fun. If you’re anywhere near Columbus, Ohio on the 11th, please join us!

There’s also an #ohiolinux channel on OFTC if you want to chat with some of the organizers and enthusiasts around OLF. It’s a good spot to hang out if you have questions about OLF, or want to volunteer. They’re also having a “Digg Party” tonight to try to drive up awareness for the show.
