LinuxFest Northwest 2008 is April 26 & 27th which is the last weekend of this month. I have attended this twice in the past, found it very rewarding to attend, and this year looks even better as they are going to a two day format and a very impressive list of sponsors. It's an easy day's drive from Boise, north of Seattle. The LinuxFest details are here at http://linuxfestnorthwest.org/

From their website "LFNW is the showcase for what people in the Northwest are doing with Linux and open source software. It's a place for Linux enthusiasts to get together to share their passion for what good software can do. This is an opportunity for everyone... satisfy your curiosity... get free stuff... ask experts... explore the latest in software technology... support freedom... experience the magic"

Presentation schedule is now posted (subject to change).
