LINUX ENTHUSIASTS AND PROFESSIONALS: The highlight of this year's Linux
community calendar is undoubtably the Annual Linux Showcase and Conference.
Now in its fourth year, ALS is specifically designed for the Linux
enthusiast, with an emphasis on high-caliber technical knowledge. This
conference is developed by a volunteer community of computing professionals
and by USENIX, a not-for-profit technical association respected for its
tradition of in-depth technical conferences.

ALS 2000 promises to be the biggest event in ALS history, expanding its
technical program to include more tutorials, refereed papers, invited
talks, Birds-of-a-Feather sessions, hothouses, and opportunities for
informal discussions with Linux experts, professionals, and vendors. The
conference includes a three-day vendor exhibition in which more than 80
companies will showcase their latest products and services.

We are currently seeking submissions for Technical White Papers,
Works-In-Progress Reports, Talks/Panel Session proposals, and Tutorial
presentation proposals for this event. Suggested topics include discussions
on the development of Linux and Open Source platforms, applications and
tools as well as the implementation, maintenance and growth of Linux
systems in small and large environments. Detailed topic suggestions and
submission guidelines can be found on our website:
