Can you say fun and interesting? Yes, this annual event brings together many from all walks of life to celebrate innovation. The usage of open source solutions as a means to bridge the gap created by individuals around the world contributing to a common cause.
Linuxfest allows for the newly curious through season professional to come together and share experiences and ideas to further the promotion of innovation. I saw some great examples from star gazing and tracking through to network solutions. Gamers had fun while web designers learned new crafts. Using embedded software to having a desktop system that anyone could use.
I encourage you to attend these events as they do give you a flavor of the future of computing and consumer electronics.
Here are a couple of photos from the group visit...
