Texas Linux Fest 2012

Dates/Location

August 3-4 at the Norris Conference Center in San Antonio, TX.

Event Description

Texas Linux Fest is the first state-wide, community-run conference for Linux and open source software users and enthusiasts from around the Lone Star State. Much like SCALE in Los Angeles, Ohio Linux Fest in Columbus, and Linux Fest Northwest -- and an ever-growing list of successful regional shows -- Texas Linux Fest is a weekend event geared towards individual users, rather than an expensive multi-workday expo that might cater primarily to sponsored attendees. Whether you use free software and Linux at home, in your place of business, in your school or non-profit, or you are simply curious, Texas Linux Fest offers something for you.

TBD - Working to find out details regarding a booth, we may share space with Red Hat, we may have our own booth, we may not get a booth. In the worst case we'll have a mobile booth in our backpacks.
