> Hello,

> I remember in past years members of TriLug had carpooled to Ohio LinuxFest

> I thought it might be fun to have a road rally to the Ohio Linuxfest on
> September 27th so we can attend the education program on Friday and the show
> on Saturday. I also talked to the Software Freedom Day folks and thought in
> conjunction we could have a Software Freedom Road Rally as our celebration
> of SFD (www.softwarefreedomday.org) albeit two weeks late.

> Zenoss (my employer) is willing to rent and pay for the van and give up to
> 12 people a ride to the Ohio Linux Fest. I was thinking we could outfit the
> van with roving wi-fi and we could blog and podcast from Raleigh to Columbus
> for the event. We could promote the road rally as part of our effort to
> support free software.
>
> So here's the deal I would give anyone who wants a ride to OLF and probably
> even buy lunch on a day or two. We would leave Thursday come back on Sunday.
> I would love someone to help me hack a router/EVDO combo so we could run a
> wifi access point from the van and blog, surf, etc. on the way up. I am
> going to put up a group blog for the participants to blog about the SFRR. I
> thought we would post our route and try to spread the word and encourage
> people to meet us on the way.
>
> One caveat their will be a sponsor badge (Zenoss Core Project) on the blog
> since they are picking up the bill and probably some signs on the van
> pointing to the Zenoss project no obnoxious corporate crap.

> Anyone interested send me an email at mrhinkle at zenoss.com or
