Events

Evan Leibovitch sent us an update on the upcoming Canadian National Installfest. There will be CDs and other promotional goodies available from Red Hat, Caldera and other vendors. Fifteen locations are currently involved and they have registered the domain linux.ca, which can now be used to reach their home page.

ISPCON Fall '98 will have a special panel on Linux, Linux and the Open Source Business Model of the Future, Or How Linux Got So Dang Hot!. The panel will include Linus, Sean Maloney (Intel corporate vice president), Marc Andreesen, (Netscape co-founder), and Robert F. Young, (Red Hat Software president). ISPCON will be held September 28th through October 1st at the San Jose Convention Center in San Jose, California. (Thanks to Zach Beane for pointing this one out to us).

Eric Raymond will be speaking at the University of Delaware Linux User Group meeting on Thursday, October 15. The topic is The Open Source Revolution: How software engineering might finally grow up and the talk is bound to be an excellent one. Too bad we won't be able to make it!
