[TriLUG] Ohio Linux Fest

[Mark Turner]

Hey, y'all. The latest info on the Zenoss-sponsored VamanOSS ride to 
Ohio Linux Fest (OLF) is that we'll now be leaving Friday morning, not 
Thursday as originally announced. This oughta make it easier for more 
people to go.

Give Mark Hinkle a shout at mrhinkle at zenoss.com if you'd like to join 
us. Should be fun!

Cheers!
Mark

Incidentally, Drew Curtis will be at OLF and will be hosting the joint 
OLF kickoff/FARK party Friday night. Enjoy a tasty malt beverage while 
Tanner tries to convince Drew that Duke doesn't really suck! :-)
