I\u2019ve been attending Linux User Groups and \u201cFests\u201d since the mid 1990s, but this year was my first LinuxFest Northwest<\/a> ever, and I now realize what I have been missing for years. If there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned, it\u2019s this: no matter how much the tech landscape shifts, including distros, desktops, server and desktop market share, cloud versus on-prem deployments, etc., the Linux community events never lose their pulse. But this year\u20142025\u2014was something special. Both LFNW and the Linux Professional Institute (LPI) celebrated their 25th anniversaries.<\/p>\n

And the Fest didn\u2019t just survive that milestone. It exploded with energy!<\/p>\n

LFNW 25: The Talk, the Crowd, the Power of Shared Curiosity<\/h2>\n

I had the privilege of speaking on \u201cSecuring Your Web Server with Post-Quantum Cryptography,\u201d a session that unexpectedly drew a packed room and some deep hallway conversations afterward. But honestly, I was just as inspired by the other voices around me, who talked about how Linux conquered supercomputing, software fairness research, underrepresented voices from the Python<\/a> community, and the story of the first Black software engineer, as well as technical updates from Enterprise and Desktop distros, including Rocky<\/a>, Centos<\/a>, Alma<\/a>, NixOS<\/a>, and Azure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sessions from both seasoned community members and new contributors were equally compelling. Both days culminated in the common sponsor area with a raffle of high-quality donated products from all to help support the next annual LinuxFest.<\/p>\n

Being surrounded by this community (old friends and new faces as well) reminded me why I joined the FOSS world in the first place. Back in 1995, I wasn\u2019t yet passionate about Linux. What brought me to my first LUG in Tokyo was something more basic: I was looking for a community. A place to connect with other English speakers, swap tips on great inexpensive restaurants, and make the city feel a little less vast. What I found, unexpectedly, was a welcoming group of tech-minded people who were building more than software: they were building shared knowledge, support, and purpose. I\u2019ve been part of it ever since.<\/p>\n

Showing Up, Sharing Knowledge<\/h2>\n

My fellow LPI board member and long-time open source champion Jon \u201cmaddog\u201d Hall gave the closing keynote<\/a>. (Most of these sessions were carefully recorded and edited by the hard working team of LFNW volunteers.) As usual, he delivered more than just a talk\u2014it was a call to action, a reflection, and a celebration all at once.<\/p>\n

Prior to maddog\u2019s talk, Beowulf<\/a> creator and early Linux kernel contributor Donald Becker<\/a> gave a talk on \u201cHow Linux Conquered Supercomputing<\/a>\u201d, which expanded on the history of not just Beowulf, but of the Linux kernel and open source itself, including how the focus and priorities of performance led to the domination of Linux as the operating system of choice for internet servers, cloud, servers, phones, and IOT devices.<\/p>\n

Every room had something to offer: from hands-on bootcamps such as \u201cBuilding Your First Game with Godot\u201d to discussions about emerging Linux distributions such as StillOS and Microsoft\u2019s Azure Linux (yes, you read that right\u2026), with a lot of talks on open source tools involved with application development, AI, cybersecurity, and front end and observability tools and use cases. The festival wasn\u2019t just about tools and tech\u2014it was about the stories we tell, like Clyde Ford<\/a>\u2019s talk on the \u201cfirst Black software engineer in America<\/a>\u201d: his father, John Stanley Ford.<\/p>\n

That one stayed with me.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Talks: What Makes This Fest Real<\/h2>\n

What\u2019s special about LFNW isn\u2019t just the sessions\u2014it\u2019s the space between them. The breakfasts where you share ideas with someone who just got their first LPI certification. The community dinners where distro wars are debated, passionately but playfully. The offsite meetups that blur the line between social and professional. It\u2019s human. It\u2019s real.<\/p>\n

I think we\u2019re all a bit tired of virtual everything<\/em>. This year felt like a return to something essential\u2014what happens when people who care about open source get in a room together. When questions get asked off-script. When hallway demos turn into job offers or side projects. That\u2019s the magic.<\/p>\n

Bellingham, which is about a two-hour drive from either Seattle or Vancouver, Canada, is a laid back town with few traditional malls or chain stores, but full of locally owned quality restaurants, pubs, and shops. Although the volunteers scheduled evening events each night, I was still able to get out to a few restaurants and shops and take in a great sunset view, as Bellingham is situated on Bellingham Bay, which is part of the Salish Sea, and is surrounded by Lake Whatcom, Lake Padden, and the Nooksack River. For those able to schedule a day before or after LFNW, the San Juan Islands, Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, Mt. Baker, and other sights and activities were close by.<\/p>\n

A Quarter Century for LPI\u2014and Why That Matters<\/h2>\n

2025 also marked 25 years of LPI<\/a>. Our booth at the Fest, our anniversary posters, even the discount codes we shared\u2014they weren\u2019t just marketing. They were a reminder that vendor-neutral certification has always been about people. Helping learners. Helping career changers. Giving anyone with curiosity and a command line the tools to grow.<\/p>\n

That message landed at the conference this year. I spoke to multiple attendees who had just passed their Linux Essentials exam\u2014and others who had first heard of LPI at this very Fest years ago. That kind of long-game impact is rare. It matters.<\/p>\n

Behind the Scenes\u2014and Ahead<\/h2>\n

The real heroes? The volunteers.<\/em> The AV teams, the captioning crew, the folks who spent late nights fixing connectivity issues in the classrooms\u2014every single one of them contributed to making this event accessible and seamless.<\/p>\n

I would especially like to extend a thank you to all of the LFNW volunteers at LFNW in Bellingham who worked tirelessly in the months and weeks prior to the event. The LFNW volunteers collaborated seamlessly through all meetings and media channels to ensure that the remote logistics of our joint 25 year Anniversary at LFNW went off seamlessly. LPI’s events manager for worldwide events, Max Roveri, resides in Dublin, and LPI’s worldwide marketing manager, Bj\u00f6rn Sch\u00f6newald, resides in Germany, so the work on the floor of the conference by the community of LFNW volunteers, which includes student volunteers from Bellingham Technical College, was particularly valuable to us.<\/p>\n

LFNW\u2019s consistency is what gives it power. This Fest helped inspire events like SeaGL in Seattle<\/a> and remains a cornerstone of the Pacific Northwest FOSS scene. It\u2019s the kind of gathering that doesn\u2019t just celebrate open source, but sustains it.<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s next? Hopefully 25 more years. More hallway chats, more disruptive ideas, more moments where someone says, \u201cWait, you can do that with Linux?\u201d<\/p>\n

See you next time in Bellingham. I wouldn\u2019t miss it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He attended his first Linux User Group (LUG) meeting in 1995 and has been a strong advocate for open architectures and cross-platform development ever since. Most recently, Ted worked in R&D at Verint, focusing on secure, cloud-based Kubernetes applications with an emphasis on automation, data sovereignty, and security. Before that, he taught Linux, security, and networking as a college adjunct professor.
