The way software is built is changing. According to research firm Forrester, 84 percent of developers today depend on open source software[1]. More companies than ever are using open source software and collaborative development to accelerate technology and drive innovation. The Linux Foundation in 2015 will offer a growing variety of events, showcasing the latest trends in open source, to bring together the world’s best developers, IT professionals and companies that are on the cutting edge of this transformation. Linux Foundation events are the neutral place where companies can reach the maintainers and developers across all the important open source software projects in enterprise, networking, embedded, IoT and cloud infrastructure.
“Hosting neutral forums where top developer and IT talent can come together to collaborate tomorrow’s biggest innovations is important work that we’re humbled to be able to do for the community and industry,” said Amanda McPherson, CMO and VP of Developer Programs at The Linux Foundation. “With the expansion of Linux and open source to so many industries, we will continue to increase the size and diversity of our events to meet the demands of the industry. We invite you to join us in 2015 for unrivaled opportunities to learn, innovate and collaborate.”
LinuxCon + CloudOpen North America will take place this year in Seattle and will be co-located with the all new ContainerCon, amongst other events including KVM Forum, Linux Plumbers Conference, #MesosCon and Xen Project Developer Summit. LinuxCon and CloudOpen Europe will be in Dublin, Ireland, along with Embedded Linux Conference and other events.
