The inaugural SouthEast LinuxFest (SELF) was held in Clemson, SC at Clemson Unversity's Hendrix student center on June 13, 2009. Plans for the second annual fest are currently being developed.[1] [2]
Mission Statement edit
The SouthEast LinuxFest, as outlined at the fest web site here, is an event to bring together the community of anyone who wants to learn more about Linux and Free & Open Source software. The main goals are to provide an educational conference, an opportunity for social gathering, a place for organizations and companies to promote their ideas and products and provide a vehicle to facilitate communications between attendees with all skill levels to share tips and ideas. A place to have fun and to bring a Linux centric event to the Southeast region once again!
