Conference & Expo plans to show the IT industry and the
enterprise that open source has come into its own this August

Developers Conference; a feature presentation by Ed Leonard, Head
of Technology for DreamWorks Animation, and the Embedded Linux
Pavilion. In addition, one individual, association or organization

Award.
LinuxWorld exhibitors will utilize the largest gathering of the
Open Source community as a forum to announce and demonstrate new
products and services as well as award contest winners. Exhibitor
