Ohio LinuxFest 2020

The Ohio LinuxFest is a grassroots conference for the GNU/Linux/Open Source Software/Free Software community that started in 2003 as a large inter-LUG (Linux User Group) meeting and has grown steadily since. It is a place for the community to gather and share information about Linux and Open Source Software.

The OLF Conference is going virtual for 2020! We are still looking for speakers to present about Free and Open Source Software topics. If you are interested in giving a talk, please submit your proposal by Saturday, October 10. The deadline has been extended to Sunday, October 25. Note that we are already accepting proposals, so the sooner you submit one the more likely it will be selected.
