LinuxWorld Expo, happening in New York in February, is trying to stir up attention with this press release; they claim that 30% of the registrants are financial and IT managers, and 40% are software developers. "Bringing LinuxWorld Conference & Expo to the financial capital of the world provides investors with an opportunity to take a closer look at this booming industry. The strong presence of software developers and IT management supports the trend of companies adopting Linux as their operating system of choice."

Another new Linux event has been announced. LinuxCanada will be held alonside NewMedia2000 in Toronto on May 15-18, 2000. Bob Young will be giving the keynote.

Chris DiBona has put up a survey asking which conference(s) people like best as a gathering point for Linux developers.
