The 2004 Ottawa Linux Symposium
paper submission site is now open. The window for submissions is short
- the deadline is March 15 - so if you would like to speak at
OLS this year, now is the time to get a proposal together. See the call for papers
for more information.

Significance of the OLS

For other Linux users and admins that don't do enough development to be
interested in submitting papers, but like me just want to know what the
significance of the various Linux events are, here's a concrete example of a
VERY significant presentation at OLS last year (2003).
The lead developer of udev, as implemented in kernel 2.6 [pdf] (then kernel 2.5, the paper
is slightly dated where it mentions current status and future work, but remains
an excellent introduction to udev) presented a paper last year. Given that
udev is one of the important new features of 2.6, the fact that OLS was
chosen to make this major presentation says quite a bit about the type of
presentations one can expect out of OLS. I look forward to seeing just what
topics are on this year's list.
