Partners / Potentials
Ohio LoCo is not an exclusive part of the Ubuntu community, and it goes a long way to help forge relationships and partners with other entities in the Ubuntu community. For OLF, there has been some activity to help bring together partners to give the greatest showing possible at OLF, for both Ubuntu and the wonderful community around it (including the businesses, start ups, and hopefuls).
Pre-installed Vendors
- System76 said they would provide demo products, 'Powered by Ubuntu' stickers, flyers, maybe a banner. (in contact with tnseditor).
- Zareason (contacted, no reply)
Software Vendors
Linux Game Publishing www.linuxgamepublishing.com - contacted by Anthony (theidiotthatisme)
