LinuxCon Keynotes Announced, Early Bird Reg Extended through Tomorrow =================================================== The Linux Foundation is pleased to announce the keynotes for this year’s highly anticipated LinuxCon, taking place in Boston from August 10 to 12, 2010. Just like LinuxCon, these keynotes represent leaders from community, industry and end users. Keynotes Include: *Ravi Simhambhatla, vice president and chief information officer at Virgin America. Simhambhatla will share how he sold the use of Linux and open source to internal colleagues and how he and his teams are maximizing it today. *Eben Moglen, founding director of the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC). Moglen will discuss legal defense strategies for Linux and open source software projects, including an update on GPLv2 and GPLv3 adoption. *Stormy Peters, executive director of the GNOME Foundation. Peters will explore how data is being stored and accessed in the cloud and what that means for Linux and open source. *Jeffrey S. Hammond, principal analyst, Forrester Research. Hammond will present recent data that shows increased developer adoption of open source platforms, frameworks and development processes as well as heightened awareness by IT management of the benefits of a mixed source development model. *The Linux Kernel Roundtable Panel. The Linux Kernel Roundtable will include a hand-selected group of top maintainers that include: James Bottomley, Novell distinguished engineer and Linux Kernel maintainer of the SCSI subsystem, the Linux Voyager port and the 53c700 driver; Jon Corbet, Linux kernel developer and editor, Linux Weekly News (LWN); Dave Jones, Fedora kernel maintainer; Chris Mason; director of Linux kernel engineering at Oracle and creator of the btrfs file system; and Ted Ts’o, North America’s first kernel developer and fellow at Google. LinuxCon brings together technical and business leadership for unmatched opportunities to collaborate and learn about all matters Linux. In its debut year (2009), the conference sold out and was host for sessions that addressed developer, business and operations topics in a lively and collaborative atmosphere. LinuxCon welcomes everyone who has a stake in Linux. Linux users and developers will meet and learn from their peers as well as teach others, such as up-and-coming developers and new Linux users. LinuxCon eliminates the traditional tradeshow environment to provide a forum where attendees can educate themselves on the latest technical advances of the Linux platform. =================================================== For more information: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon Register Now at the Early Bird Rate of US$300!
