From georgia.tech.swagger at gmail.com Wed Jan 13 13:16:14 2010 From: georgia.tech.swagger at gmail.com (georgia_tech_swagger) Date: Wed Jan 13 13:16:18 2010 Subject: [Charlug] Southeast Linuxfest 2010 Message-ID: Howdy, We're knee deep in making SELF 2010 happen, from speakers to sponsors. This year's event will be Saturday June 12 through Sunday June 13 (with some additional training/certification activities on Friday June 11). It will be held at the Spartanburg Marriott at Renaissance Park. We already have some all star features. This year the after party will feature a screening from RiffTrax, which is the all the same guys who did Mystery Science Theatre 3000 doing the same thing: ripping on classic movies and clips. If you think you'll attend, I encourage you to book your room IMMEDIATELY, as you'll get a special $93/night rate. That rate will jump to $99/night VERY SOON... and eventually become almost $110/night if you procrastinate until close to the event. To reserve your room at our special rate, please use this link: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/SPAMC?groupCode=3Dslxslxa&app=3Dresvl= ink&fromDate=3D6/10/10&toDate=3D6/14/10 We're looking forward to being bigger, better, and longer in our second ever event celebrating Linux and open source software in the GNU/South. Hope to see you there! Jeremy Sands Speaker Coordinator Southeast Linuxfest http://www.southeastlinuxfest.org PS - Our RFP is open if you're interested in speaking! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
