Community Report: Upcoming Events in the NetherlandsMay 06, 2001, 18:00 (0 Talkback[s])(Other stories by Fred Mobach) By Fred Mobach Hello, Below you will find some information on a number of interesting events in the Netherlands, some of those in part related to GNU/Linux, others completely dedicated to Linux. An URL, where you can find more information, is presented by each description. Except the ne2000 event I have visited these events last year and they were well worth my time. I think that ne2000 is also worth some time, at least I will present this year a workshop there. Have fun, Fred Mobach Linux 2001 congress - Mai 22-23, 2001 - Ede, the Netherlands.
