It looks like the registration will open at 8:00am, the keynote will start at 9:30, and the expo floor will open after the keynote (~10:15). Specific expo floor questions should go to the expo coordinator Nathan Toups (nathan@rojoroboto.com), as far as load-in and what time the floor will close. The last session of the day will be 5:00-5:45; I expect that the hotel will want booths to begin breaking down around that same time. | |||

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.
