Interview with Amanda McPherson of LinuxCon in Portland
,----[ Quote ]
| OK, the fun part: was there a moment when you honestly wondered if you’d be
| able to pull the conference off?
|
| My mind goes back to the genesis of Linuxcon. The Linux Plumbers Conference
| community team approached us about starting a bigger and more broad Linux
| conference, and I thought it was a great idea. There is a need for something
| technical, fun and community-based (not run by a for profit who is most
| interested in money). The only time I wondered if we would pull it off was
| during the presentation on Linuxcon I gave to the board of directors of the
| Linux Foundation. I did my spiel and then held my breath during a short pause
| before they responded. Soon enough they all just started asking question and
| agreed that it was a great idea. Ever since then it’s been smooth sailing.

LinuxCon Program and Event Details Take Shape
,----[ Quote ]
| If you haven’t registered to attend LinuxCon this year, you should - and make
| sure to do so before August 15th when the registration fee goes up. It is
| only US$399 until then, and you can get an even larger discount if you are: a
| Linux Foundation Individual Member (30% off), a company sending three or more
| people (15% off) or attending Linux Plumbers Conference (also 30% off).

Early Birds: Last Day to Catch the LinuxCon Worm
,----[ Quote ]
| LinuxCon, the Linux Foundation's brand new conference intended to draw "the
| best and brightest...including core developers, administrators, end users,
| community managers and industry experts," is still several months away. What
| isn't several months away, however, is the deadline for Early Bird
| registration — if you want to catch that worm, you'll have to get to running.
|
| The first annual LinuxCon, to be held in Portland, Oregon, will run from
| September 21 - 23, immediately before the second annual Linux Plumber's
| Conference, to be held September 23 - 25. The conference is one of, if not
| the, first Linux Foundation conferences to feature an open invitation to all
| Linux users — most of the foundation's events are by invitation only.

The Linux Foundation Welcomes mimio To the Fold
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Foundation has added another member to the fold. mimio, creator of
| the only interactive teaching platform available for Linux, joined the
| foundation and plans to "use popular tools such as the 'App Checker' to ease
| code development as it makes Linux applications more portable than ever
| before." Having educational software and appliance vendors on the membership
| roster of the Linux Foundation is a terrific way to reinforce that open
| source technology is indeed compatible with the needs of educators and
| learning institutions.

LinuxCon promises to bridge developer and business communities
,----[ Quote ]
| As the founder and program chair for the Open Source Business Conference, I
| know what a business conference looks like. And as a regular attendee of the
| excellent O'Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON), I know what a great
| developer event looks like, too.
|
| But this year's inaugural LinuxCon, put on by the business and
| developer-friendly Linux Foundation, is trying to bring the two worlds
| together this September in Portland.
