The good news is that 100's of Ohio LinuxFest fliers were distributed at SCALE.

The bad news is that the email address listed on said flier for sponsorship interest was listed as sponsor@ohiolinux - which used to bounce. Now we have sponsor and sponsorship going to the same place.


You are allowed to do that?

FOSSwire has in interesting recap of the Ohio LinuxFest.

A lot of people who had never even heard of Linux made their way through the booths. We saw plenty of people stop by to ask what we were showing, and were awed at the fact that everything displayed on the screens there was entirely free. I was even questioned if the entire conference was illegal since anyone is able to copy and distribute Linux. That was an honest question, too; they didn’t know that open-source software could be given out in that manner.
