Okay, so things have been a little hectic around here lately, with a new position at my full time job and all. However, I think we are about ready to start getting in the swing of things here at 2TourAustin. One of the upcoming events that looks really interesting is the Texas Linux Fest 2013.
Texas Linux Fest is an annual event, that started in 2010. It is the first state-wide, annual, community-run conference for Linux and open source software users and enthusiasts from around the Lone Star State. Similar to SCALE in Los Angeles, Ohio Linux Fest in Columbus, and Linux Fest Northwest -- and the growing list of successful regional shows -- Texas Linux Fest is a weekend event geared towards individual users, rather than the expensive multi-workday expos that tend to cater primarily to sponsored attendees.
The event looks like it would be interesting. Especially, since I have been thinking about switching to Linux and getting rid of the Windows Operating System. Which in turn would help me fight virus intrusions, as every single download would require my approval and password before it could download. Making my computer more safe then it is with the windows based system.
