“Due to Overwhelming Demand, Torvalds to Participate in Panel
Discussion/Debate”
“IDG World Expo announced today that due to the overwhelming
enthusiasm from the Linux community demonstrated at the LinuxWorld
Conference & Expo from March 1 – 4, 1999, more than 6,000
attendees united on this facility just to hear Linus Torvalds
speak. To this end, Linus will be speaking on a panel titled “The
Continuing Revolution,” which will take place today at 4:00pm PST
with key industry luminaries Richard Stallman, Guido Van Rossum and
Larry Wall, moderated by Eric S. Raymond. The panel is expected to
take place in Exhibit Hall 1 of the San Jose Convention Center in
San Jose, CA.”
“”As a result of yesterday’s outpouring by the Linux community
to receive guidance from their leader, Linus Torvalds, IDG World
Expo has made a special request to have Linus return for a second
day keynote to include the above key industry visionaries for this
exciting, stimulating, interactive discussion and debate,” says
Charlie Greco, president, IDG World Expo.”
