“Expectations exceeded as 350 members from the Linux®
community join together to share ideas”
“Achilles Internet, organizers of the first annual Ottawa Linux
Symposium, are pleased to announce the success of the Symposium
that was held July 22-24, 1999 in Ottawa, Canada. Hosted by
Rebel.com and Corel Corporation, the Symposium exceeded
expectations after bringing more than 350 Linux developers together
for two days of tutorials on subjects ranging from programming the
Linux kernel to IpSec. Speakers included Zach A. Brown from RedHat
Software Ltd., Sam Lantinga from Loki Entertainment Software, Jes
Sorensen from CERN, and Alan Cox, whose keynote presentation
provided an enlightening look into the commercial and free software
models.”
“‘The Ottawa Linux Symposium was a great technical conference,’
said Alan Cox of Building Number Three. ‘Three tracks of high
quality tutorials and technical presentations, an E-mail garden and
beer, everything needed to make it a great success.'”
