Win a Pogo Workstation at LinuxFest Northwest

Is it April already?!
Well, that means it’s time once again for the open source community to descend on Bellingham Technical College for LinuxFest Northwest. For the twelfth time, Pogo Linux is proud to sponsor one of the nation’s largest conferences dedicated to all things Linux and open source. Every year, this event is bigger and better than the year before. Last year saw over 1,500 LFNW 2014attendees come through the door, and even more are expected this year. Once again, admission is free. Be sure to register right away, if you haven’t already.

Though you may already be familiar with everything LinuxFest Northwest has to offer, here’s a quick run-down of what you can expect this year.

There are over seventy different sessions, presented by a who’s who of thought leaders in the technology space. Covering a wide range of topics, there’s truly something for everyone. You may have a hard time narrowing it down to the ones you can’t miss! Here are some that caught our eye:

•  OpenStack — Not just for Public Clouds – Jesse Keating from Blue Box
•  ACLU / EFF Panel Discussion – Seth Schoen from the EFF
•  2014 was the Year of the Linux Desktop. You missed it. – Bryan Lunduke & James Mason of SUSE
•  Crushing Data Silos with ownCloud – Frank Karlitschek from ownCloud
•  Webscale’s dead; long live PostgreSQL! – Joshua Drake from PgUS

After taking in some of those top-notch information Pogo cool swagsessions, be sure to explore the expo hall downstairs. Stop and say hi at the Pogo Linux booth, put your name in the big wine glass to win some cool prizes, and grab some fun swag!

There will be a terrific after-party on Saturday night, but make sure you get there on time. Last year, the party was so popular, they were turning people away! (If that happens, you can always rely on April Brews Day, which is just down the street.)

2014-raffle-winnerPogo Linux is proud to continue our tradition of donating a fully-loaded Linux Workstation to the LFNW raffle. Are you our next winner? There are a great many other prizes to be given away, as well. Be sure to buy plenty of raffle tickets!
