Events
| The Linux Foundation has put together a complementary set of conferences, each with a different purpose. 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. |  |
Linux Foundation staff members like Jim Zemlin speak at a number of conferences throughout the world. To find out where Jim and other staff members will be speaking next, check our calendar.
