Thank you.

Ontario GNU Linux Fest 2009 was a tremendous success. It was wonderful to see such a large group of F/LOSS enthusiasts engaging with each other. We had all of the animated conversations, renewed friendships, discovery of mutual interests, long-awaited reunions, and friendly, vigorous discussions that you would expect. And a lot of smiles.

Thank you to all of our attendees for making it so much fun.

Hi All,

Your (dis-)organizing team is in the frantic sprint to get Ontario GNU Linux Fest in order for this year. Less than two weeks to go, and our families and friends are starting to notice how much coffee we are consuming. You are going to enjoy what we have planned for you this year. We (the organizing committee) would love to take all the credit but you know better than that.

Thank you!

As always, there is no reason to put this event on if you don't attend. So thank you for registering in advance, and for enjoying the event from welcome party to wrap-up party.
