Ontario LinuxFest - October 13, 2007

http://onlinux.ca/

Finally a grass roots conference for Linux and Open Source right here
in Ontario. The Ontario Linux Fest is a conference for all things
Linux and Open Source.

When
Saturday October 13th, 2007
8:30am to 5:30pm
Where
Toronto Congress Centre
650 Dixon Road
Toronto, Ontario
M9W 1J1

This event looks like it is intended to very much parallel Ohio
LinuxFest, and I have submitted a presentation proposal to do
something on "What's new in PostgreSQL 8.3" akin to last year's
presentation at the Ohio show.

Also worth noting:

If you are an Open Source project or non-profit organization you can
obtain exhibit space at the event at a significantly reduced cost.

* Exhibit space
* Logo and listing on The Ontario Linux Fest web site
* Logo and listing in the show guide
* Two (2) attendee passes

I think it would make *very* much sense to have a ".ORG" table there
as long as enough volunteers can be found to staff the booth, much as
is desired for the Ohio event. I expect that there are enough
PostgreSQL folk in Toronto to do so...

If you can recruit/organize enough people to make this reality, I'd expect us
to pay for such an inexpensive booth.

If that "advocacy" section is opening up on the wiki, I will see about
using that to collect info in preparation for this...

I have set up "branches" for both the Ontario and Ohio Linuxfest
shows, and set up a page for each with some beginnings of needed
contacts, resources, and links to discussion threads on this list...
