At the ubuntu booth at linux fest NorthWest this year, we gave out around 450 cds, many of them 8.04 cds. We had quite a good time helping out and seeng the interest. i think overall, we did quite well this year.

I got to see Matthew Craig again this year, who visited from the East coast saying that people at other such conferences “just dont get it” and commented on their iPhone toating ability.

I also got to meet the author of Hackett and Bankwell, a comic that introduces people to Linux, GNU, and ubuntu, and explains how to do some basic things. I highly recomend it to anyone who is trying to get family members on board. you can order it at http://hackettandbankwell.com/ .

p.s. Im going to post my slides from both toorcon seattle and LFNW in the coming weeks when i get some extra time.

Linux Fest North West looms closer and closer. It will be the 26th and 27th of April, thats the weekend after this coming one. I will be at the ubuntu PNW booth as well as giving a talk about Using FOSS in Public libraries, with a focus on open-ils.

Ill put slides online afterward.For more information about linux fest northwest, go to http://www.linuxfestnorthwest.org/ .
