Red Hat Drops Linux Expo 2000

Posted by emmett on from the no-soup-for-you dept.

EricWright writes "Although this hasn't (apparently) hit major news outlets yet, the Raleigh News & Observer is running a story in the business section today that Red Hat has dropped plans to hold the Linux Expo 2000. Although I haven't seen anything at Red Hat's website, they have confirmed the cancellation, saying 'The Expo won't happen this year. This doesn't mean that the project is abandoned; it just means that it won't happen this year. We are very much interested in keeping it alive.'"

  1. Atlanta Show Still On by bsorensen · · Score: 5
    The loss of the Linux Exp is unfortunate - LE and ALS have always had a friendly competition going alongside of a mutual defnese against the IDG mentality of Linux Shows.
    The 4th Annual Linux Showcase and Conference is once again going to be held in Atlanta and we hope that those of you planning to attend the Linux Expo can make it to Atlanta instead. We're working closely with USENIX to make sure that the technical conferences are of high quality and we're also working to keep the sense of community we have strived for in the past.
