On bootstrapping a community-run FOSS event
,----[ Quote ]
| On Saturday, April 10th, I was in Austin
| Texas for the inaugural Texas Linux Fest
| (TXLF), a community-run FLOSS conference.
| The idea to stage the show arose last
| August during OSCON, picked up steam in the
| fall, and in the end a little under 400
| people turned out â including speakers and
| volunteers â which most considered a
| successful number for a first year event.

Freedom movement
,----[ Quote ]
| With over 1,200 students participating, the
| conference exhibited the language of free
| software while not losing sight of the purely
| technical aspects of GNU/Linux. Coding
| sessions, handled by experts in GNU/Linux-
| based programming, exposed students to the
| free software culture that thrives in the
| Linux User Groups â popularly called Lugs,
| these form the basic units of the free
| software movement â in academic institutions
| and among software professionals across the
| country.
