Texas Linux Fest 2019 will be in Dallas! It will be held May 31st and June 1st at the Irving Convention Center and the Call For Papers is open right now.
A few years ago I started to suggest to TXLF staff that coming to Dallas was a good idea. I wanted there to be more tech conferences in Dallas, and I love the community organized nature of TXLF and similarly SCALE. Plus, it was Texas Linux Fest, it can’t always be in Austin! This year I was able to convince them to take the risk and try a year in Dallas. It is a huge risk, as it is likely that many sponsors and regular attendees might not be interested in traveling up I-35 to attend. Being in Dallas also opens up huge opportunity to reach new audiences and new sponsors. Now to prove that.
I’m excited that we were able to secure the conference center in Irving. It is on a light rail line that goes to both airports, and surrounded by restaurants if you don’t want to take the train. We’ll be securing blocks of rooms at local hotels if you want to attend from afar. It should be an easy adventure and put you in a location that you can enjoy the best of Dallas.
Now is your time to help out by submitting a talk to make the conference great. If you know of a sponsor we’d love to hear from you as well. And we’ll be having registrations open as we announce the speakers.
Hope to see y’all in Dallas!
