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 Andover.net 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. One of the exhibitors to LinuxFest is JBSi (Jones Business Systems, Incorporated). JBSi is a national system integrator and white box manufacturer. "LinuxFest is the one best place to talk to prospective customers about our Terian line of built-to-order computing solutions," according to Curt Tueffert, JBSi VP of Sales. "No one else does built-to-order like JBSi does," continued Tueffert. "Terian systems from JBSi are the most completely configurable white box systems on the market today. Terian customers can specify everything about the hardware and software, from the specific type of network interface card to almost all the Linux operating system parameters." JBSi decided to exhibit at LinuxFest because of the location of the show and the expected large attendance. "We're growing fast and we plan to keep growing for the foreseeable future," continued Tueffert. "There's no better place to find future partners than one of the premier Linux shows." Other 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.
