Further to this, the Ottawa Citizen website has a review of the
|
|
conference which claims that although 6000 attendees were expected,
|
|
they only had about 500, and very few of these were corporate
|
|
interests. This is consistent with my own guess, although I think
|
|
there were well over 2000 exhibit visitors over the two days. If
|
|
their 500 figure is correct, though, it means almost every attendee
|
|
walked away with an LDP handout.
|
|
|
|
This was also not the first expo in Montreal or the first expo in
|
|
Canada as some media report. The Ottawa Linux Symposium has been
|
|
running for two years, and 8D Tech organized "Alternative Linux" last
|
|
November in Montreal and probably had at least as many visitors.
|
|
Still, there have not been many large commercial shows in Canada, and
|
|
most have been only "Linux Pavillions" such as last summer's show at
|
|
Toronto COMDEX. The real test will be the Linux Expo next month
|
|
in Toronto, still part of the New Media 2000 show, but organized by
|
|
Linux Journal and set apart from the main conference instead of being
|
|
a sub-set embedded in another exhibit's floor.
