Canonical / Ubuntu feels totally outside of the conversation. Not that it’s avoided, it’s just not in the scope of the discussion. When asked folks tend to, often begrudgingly, admit to using Unity. It’s superior support for touch has been frequently cited.
So. Many. LAS. Fans. Seriously. The Linux Action Show rocked LinuxFest Northwest this year. We were an army, and it literally became ridiculous and absolutely amazing at the same time.

Friday q5sys asked:

What do you think it is about this year that’s so different? What’s driven everyone out here, why this year?

This year was the mark of a new beginning. For LFNW it was the beginning of an era where every solution is welcome, and all of us, Microsoft, hardware, makers, idealists, those BSD jerks, and the hackers are ready to just solve problems.
the “post PC” era is here, and it’s amazing. Because it’s made of fanless incredibly small i5 powered Fedora rocking Wifi ninjas, and an army of Raspberry Pi type devices.
Our Crew. Every single one of them brought the A Game and they individually went above and beyond any reasonable expectation. Thank goodness there’s nothing reasonable about our show.
Linux Action Show pulled folks from all over the world, and that is simply amazing. We packed that Spark museum to tight they had to show the Tesla coil in shifts. And while we can’t claim credit for it all, it’s awesome to be part of a harmony of events that have brought more people together than ever in an age of over commercialized, PR blitz shows.
LinuxFest Northwest should be looked at as a model not just for all open source related conferences, but for the industry as a whole. The amount of real connections, decisions made, and information provided in a single day is staggering.
