Well, I'm back home in Strongsville after quite a day at Ohio LinuxFest! Got there around 11:30 with my friend Alex and we spent some time at the Ubuntu booth. Had to wait for Jacob to come over so I could get a shirt (thanks, Jacob!) then we headed out for lunch in the food court, where I was actually able to find a wireless network with Internet access.
Anyway, after eating lunch, we headed over to the Roland Hess's speech on Blender, which was really informative and enjoyable. They were playing Big Buck Bunny when we got there (just to play it, though, as it was also showing in a much better viewing environment over in the HP Movie Theater, though we never went over there). He talked a lot about the business model that worked behind the scenes to support Blender. After that we went to maco's thing on wireless security, which honestly wasn't as good as it could have been. The last thing on our list was the Python workshop, which I personally wanted to see because I have to give a crash course in Python to a number of my peers in two weeks. We stuck around to watch some guys mess around with sqlite and then headed off for the "Evening Thank You" and Jono Bacon's keynote address.
Unfortunately, we never got our surveys in, so we we're even in the drawing for the HP laptops, but Jono's speech was spectacular!
All in all, I came away from the event with a brand new Ubuntu shirt, a copy of "The Official Ubuntu Book" signed by Jono (now I just need Benjamin Hill, Corey Burger, and Jonathan Jesse...), and a "powered by ubuntu" little sticker thing.
Well, that's it, I'm about to fall asleep right here, so, one more picture before I go:
