Europe's Largest Linux Event Draws Nigh

Posted by michael on from the always-wanted-to-use-nigh-in-a-story-title dept.

steman writes "On the 10th of July 2003 LinuxTag begins, the largest Linux event in Europe. It will be held in Karlsruhe, Germany. Four days will be packed with up to 20,000 visitors, over 120 exhibitors (including more than 30 Free Software orientated projects such as FFII, BSD, KDE and Debian), coding marathon and many conferences (including specialist business and government conferences). Best of all, in the spirit of the Free Software Movement, it will be largely free (entrance, and many conferences are free)."

    I wonder why LinuxTag did not invite SCO? I can't imagine why.

      The planners were going to email them, but feared that they might be using SCO owned code in the process.

    No matter how free the admission, I can't afford the transportation. You insensitive clod.

    Plus, I don't want to leave the U.S.A. Who knows if I can make it back in.

    To developer its free as in freedom. To the customer its "costs no money". And I also think that the americans made it free as in freedom. And that europeans could not care less witch "free" it is. As long as it dosnt cost money ;)

    Whilst you are leafing through these tomes of knowledge, it might be a good idea for you to look up the following: "obvious" and "troll". "Orientate is not a word" is such an old troll that its got a beard and bus pass.
