Toronto Linux Expo. Stefane Fermigier sent in a detailed view of Linux Expo in Toronto. Day 1: "This first edition of Linux Expo Toronto is more a conference than an expo, with just 15 registered exhibitors, and none if the big names like Red Hat, MandrakeSoft, SuSE, Corel, Caldera, VA or Lineo. Fortunately, the conference program is rich [with] tutorials [and] keynotes [including] Bob Young - Red Hat [and] Jacques Lemarois - MandrakeSoft."

Day 2, keynotes from Bob Young and Jacques Lamarois: "Open source is not only sharing code, it is a development process.
