Ottawa Linux Symposium

Posted by justin++ on from the start-planning-now! dept.

Yes, it's YALC - Yet Another Linux Conference. This time, it's in the Great White North. Andrew J. Hutton is organizing the Ottawa Linux Symposium (if that link doesn't work, try this one), a smaller conference, aimed more towards developers than the casual user. Talks include a QoS tutorial, and a keynote by Alan Cox. Andrew asked me to reiterate that this is a "conference and party, not a trade show".

  1. Excellent by morissm · · Score: 2
    Two things:
    1. To those who are complaining about the price, I would point out that 150$USD is far less than what you would have to pay for most conference tickets. LinuxExpo, for instance, is more expensive, especially when you factor in the cost of tutorial sessions.
    2. I am glad to see that this conference focuses on the two things that really interest me:
      • What MORE can I do with Linux.
      • How does it work.
      The idea to keep away from exhibits and business talks is a good one IMHO. I've always thought that most conferences could do without them anyway.
    One ticket sold.
