I’m sitting here
at the airport waiting for my connecting flight to Virginia to meet
the Linux Laptop Orchestra at Virginia Tech, kicking off a busy next
couple of months.
LinuxFest Northwest
is coming up in a few weeks. Last year I did the Linux Switch Competition with Noah and Chris from Linux Action Show. I wonder
what’s in store for this year’s event?!? Can we top last year’s
switch competition? If you haven't seen the competition, it's pretty entertaining :)
We probably can’t
top that since we don’t have any specific competition planned this
time around, but LFNW should be eventful
enough with our System76 Booth and Ryan doing his talk about 11 Years Making Machines Born to Run Linux.
I’ll be travelling to LFNW with my wonderful support technician partner, April and our Community
Manager, Ryan Sipes. We are certainly a
combo to be reckoned with. We are all loud and passionate, especially
in regards to Linux and even more so after a few drinks, when it
comes to our favorite geeky topics. And that’s just absolutely
fabulous. April and I will be manning the booth and Ryan will be
doing a talk and will likely swing by the booth to confess his
undying love for the new Galago Pro. That dude loves this laptop- A
LOT. Make sure you ask him about it at LFNW if you get a chance to
chat with him. Hope to see you there!
Before LFNW, I have
the Linux Laptop Orchestra performance in West Virigina. The only
fully loaded Linux Laptop Orchestra in the world powered by Ubuntu
and System76 will be putting on an epic display of magical sound at Virginia Tech College. I’ll be front and center, seeing our
Lemurs resonate beautiful sound through an auditorium of Windows and
Mac users. I could’ve said people, but they are likely Windows and
Mac users who will see System76 displayed across the stage, so that
sounds more awesome. You can do a lot of things with System76 laptops- but the group at Virginia Tech under Dr. Ivica Bukvic's leadership
decided to create a whole orchestra. Check out how awesome this project is!
Now off to the plane to see the Linux Laptop Orchestra at Virginia Tech!
