The Flow of Consciousness

I’ve got an interest in attending Ontario Linuxfest in Toronto the weekend of October 13, 2007.

I can get a hotel for a little less than $300 for the weekend, and if we can get four people, that’s $75/person. Add in about $70 for 264 miles worth of gas (25 mi/gal, ~$3.10/gal, leave from my house in 16156) and it’s about $92.50 per person plus food. Unfortunately, there is a cost of registration—$20 for students and $40 for not-students. I have a feeling that will keep quite a few people out.

maddog is one of the keynote speakers. There are a few other talks I want to hear, too:

• Khalid Baheyeldin – Performance Tuning and Optimization of High-Traffic Web Sites
• Ian Darwin – OpenMoko: Free your phone and your mind will follow
• Mike C. Fletcher – One Laptop Per Child
• Jody Goldberg – ODT vs. OOXML
• Sarah Pullman – Yoga for Geeks

If you’re interested, leave a comment on hit me up on Skype or AIM.
