GNU/Linux Summit 2004 Call For Papers

GNU/LINUX SUMMIT 2004 CALL FOR PAPERS

Autotalo, Helsinki, Finland, 2003-08-27

The annual GNU/Linux Summit, a Finnish GNU/Linux and Open Source
conference next scheduled for February 2004, is now accepting 
papers from professionals involved in Open Source. Hosted by 
SOT and other leading GNU/Linux and Open Source suppliers 
of Northern Europe, the Summit is one of the largest 
gatherings of vendors, decision makers and users of GNU/Linux 
and Open Source software.

"As with last year's event, GNU/Linux Summit 2004 will include 
information aimed at helping businesses and IT managers to 
assess and deploy GNU/Linux and Open Source solutions. This 
year's Summit will also deal with a wider range of topics, 
offering more technical content and examining the security 
aspects of GNU/Linux. In addition, Summit participants will 
explore some topical legal aspects related to using GNU/Linux.
We aim to provide realistic end-user experiences concerning 
all of these issues, and of the TCO and cost savings inherent 
in Open Source software.", explained Mr Santeri Kannisto, 
chairman of the organizing committee and Managing Director 
of SOT.

The Summit, now in its second year, focuses on sustainable, 
commercially viable GNU/Linux and Open Source solutions.
Although the majority of conference attendees are business 
decision makers, users, and vendors, the Summit organizers 
welcome presentations of a technical nature. 

Individuals and organizations interested in speaking at 
the GNU/Linux Summit 2004 are invited to submit a proposal 
to the organizers. For more information, please see
