“The Bazaar Wins Support From Industry Leaders, Companies &
Development Groups:
Keynote Presentation by Ralph Nader
GNU/Linux and Apache Featured Topics.”
“EarthWeb…announced today that IBM…has become a platinum
sponsor and cornerstone partner of The Bazaar, a three day Open
Source Software conference and exhibition in New York City
beginning on December 14, 1999. The Bazaar is designed to be a
comprehensive forum featuring over 30 hands-on workshops, more than
50 conference sessions, featured keynote and panel presentations by
the leaders of the Open Source movement, and over 45,000
square feet of vendor and project exhibits at the Javits Convention
Center. IBM will also host a private holiday shopping event at FAO
Schwartz for all conference attendees.”
“For the $50 per person conference cost, The Bazaar can take the
mystery out of the free software landscape,” said Michael Healy,
Director of Events and Conferences at EarthWeb. “At the exhibition
and conference, attendees can learn how free and open source
software fits into their technology strategy.”
