LinuxWorld, the online magazine for Linux professionals, invites you
to participate in Tapping the Source, our special supplement on open
source software at the upcoming LinuxWorld Conference & Expo (March
1-4 in San Jose, CA).

If you or your group are involved in an open-source development
project -- large or small -- and will have any kind of presence at
the show, you are invited to contribute information now about your
project. We'll make sure it's listed on Tapping the Source so that
members of the Linux community can, at a glance, find out how to
learn more about your project while at the show.

The Tapping the Source supplement can be found at
http://www.linuxworld.com/expo.

Right now, we are building the comprehensive listing of all open
source software at the show. Please let us know about your product
or development project at http://www.linuxworld.com/expo, provided
it meets all three of the following qualifications:

* It runs on Linux

*It is licensed under an open source
(http://www.opensource.org/osd.html) license

* There is some tangible way for readers to learn more about your
software while at the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo. You will
qualify, for example, if someone from your group is attending the
show and willing to meet informally with attendees, if there's a
tutorial or technical session relating to your software, if you're
an exhibitor, or if you'll be holding an informal meeting or a birds
of a feather session).

Tapping the Source will eventually include:

* A detailed list of open source development projects people can get
exposure to at the show, aimed at helping attendees network with the
developers who'll be available there

* In-depth profiles of specific show-related open source software
for the desktop, for servers, and for development.

* Discussion forums

* News and daily reports from the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo

* Polls

* A virtual message board
 
* Attendee writeups of the conference sessions
