[Ambassadors] Second annual Northeast Linux fest

[Jonathan Nadeau]

Hello list,

I was hoping that people from Fedora would like to come to the event and 
represent Fedora at the conference. If anyone would like to come you can 
have a free table. Just email to reserve the table. Thanks for your time 
and help.

Announcing the 2nd annual Northeast GNU/Linuxfest.

Where:  Worcester State University, Worcester MA
When:   March 17, 2012
Info: http://northeastlinuxfest.org

Last year we had just speakers at the event.  This year we are stepping 
it up considerably.  We are featuring a hackerspace competition where 
teams from across the Northeast will compete for prizes for best 
design.  This years theme is accessibility.  We will also hold LPI and 
BSD exams on the morning of the event.  The folks from Open Street Map 
will hold workshops throughout the day.  We also have tables from 
various sponsors.  Among the keynote speakers this year will be the 
other organizer for the event Jonathan Nadeau.  Jonathan is blind but 
this has not prevented him from working with Debian, Fedora and Triquel 
in hopes of making each distribution more accessible for vision impaired 
or physically disabled.  This is an event that can also be used to meet 
other people in the linux world and make new contacts.  This is an all 
day event.  All events will be held in the main student center.  There 
is also a cafeteria on the second floor which features a $5 all you can 
eat buffet.  Last but not least, if you are 21 or older we have our very 
popular after party event at Jillians.  We also have arranged to get 
special room rates at the Worcester Marriott.  You must reserve your 
room before February 17, 2012 to get this rate.  You can either use the 
link off the Northeastlinuxfest website or you can make reservations 
over the phone but be sure to mention the Northeast Linuxfest group to 
get the rate.  You can get to Worcester by train or bus if you do not 
have a ride.  You can find that information on the website as well.  We 
hope you can attend and most most important, the admission is free!  The 
website again is http://northeastlinuxfest.org  Take back control of 
your software, take back control of your computer!
