Hello,

I put the word out among the KDE-promo group. No one volunteered to take on 
making KDE happen at Ohio LinuxFest. I apologize if we previously said we'd 
participate, but it's essential for someone--preferably a group--near Columbus 
to take this on. 

It's unfortunate that we won't be there, because KDE Plasma (the User 
Experience) now has yet another look...this time for mobile devices. Plasma 
Active supports touch, in lieu of mouse and keyboard.

I was at LinuxCon in Vancouver last week, exhibiting for LinuxFest Northwest and 
talking with people about the cool stuff going on with KDE.  I demo'd a tablet 
running a full OpenSUSE 11.4 desktop, with Plasma Active/Contour as the UX. The 
response was quite good. LinuxCon was quite a celebration. Linus looks good in 
formal wear (http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS3882051891.html). We were the 
only LinuxFest exhibiting; there was a lot of interest in the various Fests 
around the US and Canada, including OLF.

Good luck with your 20 years of Linux celebration. It sounds like Ohio LinuxFest 
will be outstanding this year.

Thank you for thinking of KDE

Carl
