BIOS LEVEL

As I get permission from the various presenters, I’ll post slides here. If the presenter has the full slideshow available somewhere, I’ll link to it.

Stay tuned.

The trip up was fortunately uneventful. Neither Jonathan nor Pat have been to Canada, so crossing the border was a new experience. We exchanged some dollars for loonies at the Duty Free, and got through the booths quickly. The hotel, Radisson, is cool, and our suite is flippin’ sweet. Pics later.

We’re off to the pre-party sponsored by Lullabot, and then to get some late-night grub if none is provided. We’ve not eaten since about 2 p.m.

Jonathan, Pat, and I will be heading to Ontario Linuxfest in Toronto for the weekend. I’m excited to go to Canada for more than an evening for the first time since I was five.

Expect a report next week

Morning session was awesome. Keynote was great, Max Spevack of Red Hat/Fedora gave an informational talk on the community.

Afterwards, the chief evangelist of Neuros demonstrated the Neuros OSD. Then, two GNOME guys gave an overview of new features in Gnome 2.20.

The trip in was easy–Columbus traffic didn’t get us down.

More to come later when I’ve got a faster, more reliable connection. The hotel’s wired network was out of IPs, and we’re having problems finding a decent wireless network with a decent pipe.

I’ll be attending Ohio Linuxfest this weekend. I’ll be taking pictures and posting a review/synopsis of the event throughout the weekend on the BIOS_LEVEL blog and at my blog, The Flow of Consciousness. Next week, I’ll combine the posts for an article at BIOS_LEVEL. Dave Grega, a Pittco regular, will be speaking on usability during the event, so I’m excited to hear what he’s researched.
