[kwlug-disc] FSOSS

[Darcy Casselman]

I attended back when they were attempting to be as much a LinuxFest as an
academic conference.  And Eben Upton (the Raspberry Pi) guy was there.  So
that was awesome.

They've gone back to their Thursday-Friday schedule and I don't know if
there's much of any end-user focus the last couple years.  So I'm not
really interested.

It's not ComDex.  You can probably core some stickers, though.

Darcy.
