Forget about the gays…the breeders are doing a fine job screwing up marriage.

Read up and savor the irony.

Tomorrow, the speakers list will go live, but I’ll share a bit of what’s going on. Most of the speakers have confirmed their presence, and we’re looking forward to celebrating 40 Years of Unix! We has several people planned for the fest. Here’s a sampling: Jorge Castro will be there, presenting “Building a Community Around Your Project.” Mackenzie [maco] Morgan will have a sysadmin-oriented talk on the differences between Red Hat and Debian. Fort Wayne LUG’s Vern Ceder is doing Python for Linux System Administration. And for our keynotes, we have Dr Douglas McIlroy and Shawn Powers.

This year, we also have a “Diversity in Open Source” workshop. No matter your background, you are welcome to contribute to Open Source.

We got the banners available online for linkage at Flickr, and Klaatu has done a great job with the design.

I’m hoping Twitter gets fixed soon, as it has been h4x0r’d. Will have to publicize via Identica.

This is not quite misGuidance Theatre material, but just the nifty thing to view. Some guy with the nom de Web “Swamp-Ass” has pieced together vintage drive-in intermission clips. Great stuff. I remember my family going to the Van Nuys Drive-In…four bucks per carload, and we’d get out the cooler and enjoy the movies. I did remember Splash and Beat Street as some of the films that we watched.

Am awaiting further news with the Ohio Linuxfest guys, especially in regards to speakers. I know that one guy got the nod as he’s with the Fort Wayne LUG.
