LINUX EXPO 2000 NORTH AMERICA
|
||
FIRST INTERNATIONAL CROSSROADS FOR OSS AND LINUX SOLUTIONS
|
||
TO TAKE PLACE IN MONTREAL, AT THE PALAIS DES CONGR<47>S
|
||
APRIL 10-12, 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
Montreal, February 8, 2000 - The very first international crossroads devoted to
|
||
OSS software and Linux solutions will take place at Montreal's Palais des
|
||
Congr<EFBFBD>s from April 10 to 12. During those three days, all the key actors in the
|
||
worldwide Linux and OSS universe will be there : users, programmers,
|
||
manufacturers, resellers, integrators, consultants, decision-makers and .
|
||
investors. It is a Canadian first. www.skyevents.com.
|
||
LINUX EXPO offers attendees and exhibitors from all horizons an opportunity to
|
||
share information and networks in an international and cosmopolitan atmosphere.
|
||
Here is a chance to find out why Linux and other OSS software products are
|
||
revolutionizing the world of information technology on a daily basis, intriguing
|
||
the world of international finance, and altogether upsetting the established
|
||
order in the software industry. "Linux Expo is an international event that
|
||
stands as a very good illustration of the Linux universe, its diversity and also
|
||
its intellectual and technological fervor", says St<53>phane Labrouche,
|
||
Vice-President of the Sky Events Group.
|
||
LINUX EXPO 2000 NORTH AMERICA is an initiative of the Sky Events Group,
|
||
organizer of the LINUX EXPO shows around the world ( Paris, Madrid, Toronto, Sao
|
||
Paulo, Singapore, Hong Kong, Sydney and Shanghai). The Sky Events Group also
|
||
edits the Linux and OSS Software Solutions Guide, and organizes the Conference
|
||
Road Show & University Linux Expo.
|
||
Held at the crossroads of many economic powerhouses, LINUX EXPO brings together
|
||
all the key players in the market, whether European, North or South American or
|
||
Asian. "We have opted for Montreal as our home base because it is the perfect
|
||
location to expand into North America", says Mr. Labrouche, who adds that "our
|
||
Montreal offices are in fact the headquarters for all our activities in the
|
||
Americas".
|
||
|
||
A number of important events, some of them unprecedented, are scheduled to take
|
||
place as part of LINUX EXPO. It is those very events that distinguish LINUX EXPO
|
||
from a simple trade show.
|
||
|
||
KEYNOTE SESSION, TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 8 : 30 P.M.
|
||
Be they CEOs of big corporations or Linux gurus, the biggest players in the
|
||
Linux market will be there, making the event a perfect occasion to take stock of
|
||
the key trends and prospects in the market for OSS and Linux solutions. BOB
|
||
YOUNG (President, Red Hat), LARRY M. AUGUSTIN (CEO, VA Linux), MICHAEL COWPLAND
|
||
(CEO, Corel Corp.), ERIC S. RAYMOND (VA Linux), MARK JARVIS (VP Global
|
||
Marketing - Oracle Corp.) and many others will be on hand at LINUX EXPO to
|
||
attend this extraordinary conference.
|
||
|
||
CAPITAL LINUX, MONDAY, APRIL 10 AT THE INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL
|
||
The OSS and Linux world is in such effervescence that there just had to be an
|
||
opportunity to promote encounters between the emerging start-ups in this booming
|
||
market and international top venture capitalists.
|
||
|
||
Linux Capital, a one-day unprecedented conference, certainly fits the bill. It
|
||
will allow the twenty selected start-ups to describe their needs and goals and
|
||
make their case to a gathering of key decision-makers from the world of
|
||
international finance. All the deals reached as a result of this event will be
|
||
announced on www.skyevents.com.
|
||
|
||
INTERNATIONAL & START-UP PAVILION
|
||
The international pavilion will gather foreign start-up companies (Europe, Latin
|
||
America, Asia) looking for the right conditions to explore the North American
|
||
market.
|
||
|
||
LINUX GENERATION
|
||
The Linux generation will show up in strength at LINUX EXPO. The activities of
|
||
the many international associations (GNOME, Debian, etc.) and LUGs (Linux Users
|
||
Groups) are a testimony to their essential contribution to the Linux boom so
|
||
far, and of its strength in the future.
|
||
|
||
LINUX RESOURCES FORUM
|
||
Linux is the future and LINUX EXPO stands as a perfect illustration. The Linux
|
||
Resources Forum aims to serve as a clearinghouse to match the demand and supply
|
||
of qualified OSS and Linux specialists and developers in both Canadian and
|
||
international companies. Some job interviews will take place right on the
|
||
premises.
|
||
|
||
THREE-DAY CONFERENCE AND TUTORIAL PROGRAM
|
||
The programming committee has identified a number of themes of great interest to
|
||
all international visitors. And it has come up with a full three days of high
|
||
level conferences and tutorials, hosted by expert professionals and all
|
||
featuring simultaneous French and English translation.
|
||
|
||
All visitors who pre-register at www.skyevents.com will be admitted for free at
|
||
LINUX EXPO. Otherwise, admission at the door will cost CAN $20. Every visitor
|
||
will receive the Linux and OSS Software Solutions Guide, and a ticket to attend
|
||
the keynote session. Admittance to all the conference and tutorials is available
