Gregdek and I will be there. I've been there the past 3 years (twice for Pogo Linux, once on my own) so I really know the scene and will recognize a lot of folks. I really like this show and am happy to see it grow. This is really a good alternative to the monstrosity that Linux World has turned into. If more regions coordinated festivals like this more people would get that wonderful community feel for the Linux industry instead of the corporate shankjob that LWCE is now.

Well whaddya know, I've been working with a few people on possibly creating something similar in NYC called "Metro Linux Fest" or some derivative. So far we have gone over tons of things and pretty much all that is left to figure out is the cash of it. We are sure though we can find a few large name sponsors in NYC like google, citicorp, ibm etc. so we are well on our way.
I'll be sure to keep you posted. If anyone is interested in doing something like this somewhere in another region of the country, let me know, maybe we can work together.
