Subject: UK Linux Developers' Conference, Bristol, 4-7 July 2002
Date:	 Thu, 2 May 2002 21:49:06 +0100

Once again, a wide cross-section of the Linux development community
will gather at the start of July for the UK Unix User Group's summer 
technical conference.

The conference moves about the UK from year to year: in 2002 we're
visiting Bristol; in 2003, Edinburgh.

Speakers from nine countries will present their work, forming our
largest programme to-date.

We begin on Thursday 4th July with tutorials on Shared Libraries,
given by Ulrich Drepper, the glibc maintainer, and the Linux Terminal
Server Project, given by the project's founder, Jim McQuillan.

After a Linux printing workshop on Friday morning (CUPS/KDEPrint), the
conference proper begins at lunchtime and runs through to Sunday
lunchtime.

Highlights of the programme include:

    * The Linux Kernel (Marcelo Tosatti, 2.4 maintainer)
    * The Hurd (Marcus Brinkmann)
    * Linux on AMD's Hammer architecture (Bo Thorsen)
    * Linux-ABI (Christoph Hellwig)
