[ubuntu-us-in] Upcoming Events relevant to the Indiana Ubuntu Scene

[Jason Corfman]

I went to Ohio Linux Fest last year and had a blast. OK, a couple of the 
talks were over my head (I'm still a Linux newb), but otherwise, I had a 
lot of fun. I have had this year's date on my calendar ever since 
attending last year, and I registered fairly early for this year's event.

I will try to log in during August's online meeting, but I make no promises.
