Linux Foundation Events and Conferences

The Linux Foundation produces technical events around the world. Whether it is to provide an open forum for development of the next kernel release, to bring together developers to solve problems in a real-time environment, to host workgroups and community groups for active discussion, to connect end users and kernel developers in order to grow Linux use in the enterprise or to encourage collaboration among the entire community, we know that our conferences provide an atmosphere that is unmatched in their ability to further the platform.
