Welcome

Welcome to the Atlanta Linux Fest website. Atlanta Linux Fest will be held Saturday, September 19th, 2009, in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. This coincides with the 2009 Software Freedom day, so come show your support for free software!

The Atlanta Linux Fest is a free grassroots conference for the GNU/Open Source Software/Free Software community to gather and share information about fun and exciting existing and upcoming Linux and Open Source Software.

Attendees of all skill levels are invited to share their experiences to benefit all users of Linux/Free and Open Source Software. Atlanta Linux Fest is the place to learn, make new friends, and have fun!
