=======================================================================================

The purpose of this track, organized by some members of the
ExtremeLinux mailing list is ExtremeLinux and Beowulf as pertains
to the following:

1. Introducing cluster creation and programming to the wider
   community of Linux users and programmers.
2. To serve as a platform for introducing and furthering the
   adoption of ExtremeLinux and Beowulf amongst businesses and other
   non scientific users, and to be a platform for showcasing
   scientific and non-scientific applications
3. To have talks on the “Linux” aspects of ExtremeLinux, talks
   that would be interesting to the linux user and programmer
   community at large, for example, kernel programming like
   filesystems, system administration, etc.
4. hopefully stimulate collaborations amongst Beowulf and other
   programmers, and conversations amongst kernel developers and high
   performance application programmers.

The program will consist of a highlighted speaker, a technical
track, tutorials, and a BOF session . ExtremeLinux will have its
own booth, very kindly provided by the the Linux Expo organizers.
Posters, Live demonstrations and cluster building at this booth and
other ExtremeLinux related booths will be part of the program.

The tutorial sessions will cost $35 to attend– REGISTER NOW! at
https://www.linuxexpo.org/register.html
for the tutorials.

The Technical program, highlighted speaker, and BOF will be free
(but require you to register for the “Conference” part of the Expo,
of-course) and weaved in with the rest of the Expo technical
program. (Note that these tutorials are not part of the regular
Expo tutorials, and you must register specifically for them, and
you can register only for them.)
