Good afternoon all - Dru Lavigne has posted her slides from her presentation on FreeNAS. It was great having her speak at this fest and we hope to see her again next year! The slides can be found here - http://www.slideshare.net/dlavigne/nelf2012

Jonathan, Mike, Jennifer and I want to thank everyone who showed up to the Northeast GNU/Linuxfest! We doubled our audience, we tripled our reservations and we increased our table space by including 8 more tables this year than last. Thanks in full will be posted throughout this week and we apologize in advance if we forget anyone but I'm hoping we won't. The first round of people I would personally like to thank is Tracy Holtz and Steve McLaughlin (doortodoor geek) for streaming the Northeast Linuxfest live! That was a big help!

Ok folks, as of this post we're 36 hours away from the Second Annual Northeast GNU/Linuxfest. I have to tell you, it has been an intense week. A lot of behind the scenes planning and some resorting to plan b. In life you really need them. That being said, we have addressed the lack of food and will have websites and phone numbers as well as addresses for sub shops and restaurants. I will be posting a separate tab for that tomorrow morning. I have three more posts to put up, soooo, check back in for any other last minute issues.

The folks at the university have said their cafeteria will be closed next Saturday! Their timing could not have been worse. Not only that but it looks at though Jonathan will be dropping off the list of guest speakers due to a death in the family. What this means is we now have a lunch break. I will make a map of available places within a one mile radius. If I can I will also print out copies of subshop menus for deliveries for folks who don't want to leave campus in search of food. Its a small set back but one we can overcome quite easily.
