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

The Unix Users Group the Netherlands NLUUG (http://www.nluug.nl/) will have their
next spring conference at Mai 31, 2001 in congress centre “De
Reehorst” in Ede, the Netherlands.
Topic of this conference is UNIX and High Availability and 17
different lectures will be presented. I have not scimmed all of
them but at least 5 of them are pure GNU/Linux oriented :

- Linux High Availability Overview, Lars
Marowsky-Brée - A Communication Fault Injection Tool to Validate Linux
Clusters, Fábio Olivé Leite - DRBD, Philipp Reisner
- High Availability VPN solutions, Guus Sliepen & Ivo
Timmermans
I don’t know if the lectures of Chel van Gennip and Erik
Meinders are related to Free Software but if so I wouldn’t be
amazed.
You can find the program at http://www.nluug.nl/events/vj01/algemeen/index.html,
where you have the links to the abstracts at hand.
