End Users Meet Year End

“The conference in question, aptly named the End User Summit, is
quickly drawing near, and the Linux Foundation is wondering who
wants to be there.

“The now-annual End User Summit, according to the Linux
Foundation, “provides end users a direct connection and voice to
the kernel community, and allows Linux community maintainers and
developers direct access and knowledge sharing with the end users
of their software — both of which accelerate innovation and
adoption of Linux.”

“The gathering is intended to offer “the opportunity to learn
about upcoming developments in Linux” and “[e]ducates end users on
Linux advancements and best practices.” It gives their thoughts on
the subject a direct conduit to the powers that be. Of course, the
same is true in the other direction — the powers that be have
an opportunity to hear the feedback they need straight from the
proverbial horse’s mouth. It also provides the ever-desired
opportunity to network with like-minded people, both
users-to-developers and users-to-users. (Presumably, the powers
that be are already well networked.)”
