Atlanta Linux Fest 2009

To coincide with Software Freedom Day, Atlanta Linux Fest 2009 will be held on Saturday, September 19th 2009!

We have lots of exciting talks lined up this year! Paul Frields and David Nalley will be showing off the Fedora community, lots of Ubuntu representation, with Rick Clark (Server Team manager), Pete Graner (Kernel Team manager), Ken Vandine discussing the desktop, Richard Johnson covering KDE/Kubuntu, John Pugh doing virtualization, and Daniel Chen will be giving his vaunted PulseAudio talk.

Sure its called Atlanta Linux Fest, but we want to spread the love to all open source projects. Roger Wickes is a certified Blender trainer and will be talking…well, Blender; Tarus Balog, CEO of openNMS will discuss running an open source business; Josh Sweeney on the cool stuff you can do with SugarCRM; multi-site Drupal Management by Michael Haynes and David Tomaschik; Mark Hinkle on Zenoss; also, Michelle and Michael Hall will present our favorite distro for children, Qimo 4 Kids. Last but not least, Rikki Kite will present “Her PR Problem — Tooting the Horns of Women in Open Source.”

Registration for Atlanta Linux Fest 2009 is free (but required if you want to use the wifi!).
