Columbus, OHIO -- August 23, 2010 -- The Ohio LinuxFest is proud to

2010 Ohio LinuxFest takes place in Columbus, Ohio at the Greater

Linux experts like Tarus Balog, Amber Graner, Catherine Devlin, Dru
Lavigne, Paul Frields, and Jon 'maddog' Hall. This year's OLF also
features a special medical track for those interested in the use of
free and open source software in medicine.

The final keynote will be a real treat for Linux and open source
