Information from the Ottawa Linux Symposium (OLS) 2008 presentations (Heise)

Heise has posted a look at several OLS presentations - without actually having been to OLS. "A look at the companies employing the various presenters and the respective topics presented can provide valuable insights into the companies' open source activities and fields of interest. The largest number of presentations were given by IBM employees who delivered or contributed to 11 out of a total 54 OLS presentations. Topics include performance and regression testing, file systems, real-time Linux and, of course, the current buzz phrase Cloud Computing. In second place were the employees of Red Hat who contributed to 8 of the presentations. While one of these deals with clusters and real-time Linux, others discuss the general Wifi support in Linux or the budding Augeas 'Configuration API'."

Thorsten is a Fedora contributor and is currently leading the RPMfusion project, seeking to
unite third-party Fedora repositories. So even if he was not at OLS, he's most likely
consulted people who were.
