I once submitted a paper to a space conference (in 2002, I think),
and never received any contact from them. About 2 months prior
to the conference, I emailed to ask about it, and was told that 'if
I hadn't received a response, then my paper had not been accepted'.

So, I dropped it and attended -- only to find my name on the speaker's
schedule, with no talk prepared!  So I missed day 1 of the conference,
preparing my talk at the last minute.

Sometimes it's just because they are very, very poorly organized.

I have a feeling this 1-day Ohio Linuxfest may be a similarly
small-scale operation.

Best of luck,
Terry
