Conferences

Collaboration is one of the key strengths of the Open Source world, which leads to user-centric software developments, quicker development cycles and reduced product costs. LinuxDays 2009 provides an environment to foster collaboration through knowledge sharing, facilitated discussions with real deliverables and opportunities to network with others that have either « been there and done it », are in the process of planning, developing and implementing, or are providing technology and professional services to help organisations leverage from open source assets.
 

Tracks

Providing focus on the specific needs that different organisations have, LinuxDays 2009 has four tracks each with their own themes, speakers and workshops. This provides organisations with a focussed collaboration and networking opportunity. This years tracks are: Open For Business, Public Administration & Government , Education and Grid Solutions.
 

Workshops

Many of the presentations lead into 2 hour professionally facilitated working sessions, to enable participants turn their thoughts and discoveries from the conference, into working action plans that address their needs.  In line with the ethos of Open Source, we are asking people interested in attending LinuxDays 2009 to inform us what you would like to get out of the working sessions.  Please contribute on our forums to let us know.  LinuxDays 2009 presentations will then, guided by your input, open up the debate and the facilitators will steer the groups to achieve those objectives.

Speakers

This is a detailed list with some speakers we'll welcome at LinuxDays this year.
