Linux World Expo Commences Tomorrow

  • Linux

Linux World conference and expo commences tomorrow and runs through til Thursday evening. It's the first time this event has been held here in Australia and it ought to be an interesting event to gauge the genuine level and breadth of interest in Linux from the various business sectors.

 

At the very least, it ought to be a far cry from the short lived "Linux" sections at the "PC Expos" of years gone by. Here's a quote from the LWA organisers:

 

"LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, Australia, is the world’s leading trade show and conference for management and IT professionals, to learn about Linux and open source applications, solutions, ROI and Total Cost of Ownership. LinuxWorld Conference & Expo provides the powerful combination of education and vendors. The two day conference offers exceptional educational programming, dynamic keynotes, case studies, plenary sessions and tutorials - profiling real life examples delivered by renowned industry specialists."

Never even heard about this

Never even heard about this until today. Pity, would have gone to Maddog's free keynote just to check it out. Perhaps in the future they could mail the SLUG-announce mailing list to get the word out to interested people who don't have the time to follow the main SLUG list?
