The Desktop Linux Consortium (DLC), the premier organization advancing Linux
on the desktop, will be hosting LinuxWorld Expo's Desktop Linux Pavilion in
Booth #465 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York January 21 through 23,
2004. DLC participation comes at a time of tremendous global momentum around
extending the open source Linux operating system to the enterprise desktop in
agencies, governments, and corporations.
The DLC will be presenting key products, information, and thought leadership
on how organizations can benefit from lower licensing costs, greater
security, and increased reliability. The Pavilion will bring together key
industry leaders, some of which are listed below, making the Linux desktop a
reality:
* Bruce Perens - Chairman and founding member of the DLC and a leader in the
Open Source community, Perens is a former Debian GNU/Linux project leader and
the author of the Open Source Definition, a founder of Software in the Public
Interest and co-founder of the Open Source Initiative.
* John Terpstra - A founding member of Samba.org (website: www.samba.org), an
Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print
services to SMB/CIFS clients. Samba is used to interconnect MS and Linux
environments in the enterprise.
* Jeremy White - A founding member of the DLC and CEO of Codeweavers, a
company that offers technology that enables users to migrate to Linux by
allowing them to use the Linux environment on PCs and still running legacy
Windows applications.
