Linux Bangalore/2003 Receives Sponsorship

All:

The managers of Linux Bangalore/2003 are pleased to announce that the event has secured Platinum, Gold and Silver sponsorship.

PLATINUM SPONSOR
----------------

Platinum Sponsorship comes from Hewlett Packard. HP has been a champion of Linux and Open Source worldwide for many years, and has been responsible for many important advances in the Open Source world. For example, the mission critical Samba Project is sponsored by HP.

HP is the Platinum Sponsor of Linux Bangalore for the third year in a row, completing a hat trick of sponsorships that have made Linux Bangalore the most important Linux and Open Source event in India, apart from the largest community-driven event of its kind in Asia.

GOLD SPONSOR
------------

Gold Sponsorship comes from Novell Inc. Novell has been a long term supporter of Linux and Open Source, and has recently become more visible with its acquisition of Ximian and Suse.

While a new sponsor for Linux Bangalore, Novell brings additional value to the event by fielding some of the biggest names in the Open Source world as speakers.

SILVER SPONSOR
--------------

Silver sponsorship comes from Exocore Consulting. For many years, Exocore has supported Linux and Open Source efforts in India through personal efforts and sponsorship, and Exocore's role in bringing the Linux Bangalore event to life cannot be understated.

We warmly thank all our sponsors, without whom this event would not have been possible.
