“IBM, Corel, and SuSE are among the horde of IT firms expected
to use next week’s LinuxWorld Expo to launch or demonstrate new
products based on the popular open-source operating system,
including new servers and Linux releases.”
“More than 12,000 developers, businesspeople, and other
enthusiasts attended the first LinuxWorld show in March, and
organizers hope to top that figure next week. The show runs Aug. 9
to Aug. 12 in San Jose, Calif.”
“Linux is hot,” said Madeline Schnapp, a product marketing
manager for O’Reilly & Associates, which publishes books on
open source. “If you’re anybody who is anybody in Linux, you have
to show up at this show.”
