LinuxFest 2000 will be held June 20 through 23, 2000 for Seminars and Forums and June 21-24 for the Trade show. "Our goal...", according to Greg Palmer, President of Mobius Marketing, producer of LinuxFest, "is to demonstrate the power of Linux and Open Source Software to IT and business owners across the US and specifically the heartland of America." Recent spectacular IPO's by Red Hat, VA Linux, Cobalt and Slashdot have taken the stock market by storm and LinuxFest2000 will be the first opportunity for the midwest to see what the excitement is all about. Major well known companies like IBM, Compaq, Informix and Oracle have committed to Linux, however most people are exposed to Linux on a daily basis, because Linux powers much of the World Wide Web. Over 60,000 square feet of space will be dedicated to booths. Seminars will cover the simple to the most complex computer topics. Most of the established major Linux companies will be represented, plus many startup cutting edge companies will also be in attendance.
