Achilles presents the 2nd Annual Ottawa Linux Symposium

	The 2nd annual Ottawa Linux Symposium will be taking place from
the 19th to the 22nd of July, 2000.  The Symposium will be hosted
at the Ottawa Congress Centre to accommodate the increasing demand for
high-end technical Linux development conferences.

	Our sponsors run the full range of businesses with strong
interests in the development and advancement of the Linux operating
system.  This year, our major supporters include such notables as
Corel (TSE:COR), Linuxcare Inc., Nortel Networks (TSE:NT), Rebel.Com,
Red Hat (NASDAQ:RHAT), VA Linux Systems, Zero-Knowledge Systems,
Achilles, and Helixcode Inc.

	All of our sponsors are involved in Linux development and are
supporting the users right to choice in the operating system marketplace.

	The 1999 Symposium was a resounding success with rave reviews
from attendees and sponsors.  We hope to continue this success for
2000.  Despite a 50% increase in space, we expect to fill our seats
well in advance. 

	Our line-up of speakers for this year has grown to over 33 speakers,
adding many leading developers from all around the world including our
share of local Canadian talent.  The strong international nature of the
event helps to bring together the dramatically diverse Linux development
community.

	Our keynote speaker this year is David S. Miller, one of the most
innovative and prolific of the core Linux developers.  Our
1999 keynote speaker, Alan Cox will also be returning to present a
technical paper.

	Linux is a freely distributable, UNIX-like operating system. The
Linux project was originally started by a 3rd year University student
at the University of Helsinki, Finland in 1991. With the help of the
Internet, Linux quickly took on a life of its own; now after the
contributions of hundreds of developers around the world, Linux is
running on over 20 million computer systems.
