LinuxTag is the most important place for Linux and open source software in Europe. The 18th LinuxTag will take place on 23. - 26. May 2012 - for the sixth time at the Berlin Fairgrounds - and presents all the latest news and information for professional users, decision makers, developers, beginners and the Linux community. LinuxTag is organized by the LinuxTag Association in partnership with Messe Berlin GmbH.
During four days visitors of the fair and the congress can experience the open-source-trends. Collaboration and interesting business models are focused on under the slogan “Open minds create effective solutions”. The main topics include innovative Android projects and enterprise storage with a special perspective on the SSD drive as well as tools and methods of system management, such as monitoring and configuration management.
Many open source projects will present their free software. Special events such as the hacking contest, the Kernel-Kwestioning with many Linux developers, Key-Signing-Parties, LPI exams or numerous workshops complete the program.
Proposals for the conference in line with the call-for-papers can be submitted until 29. January 2012.

12.05.2011 Featured: Gonéri Le Bouder, FusionInventory.org
Gonéri Le Bouder is both an employed software developer and a Debian developer. Debian is sometimes referred to as the best example for those projects, which get mad at the idea of commercial interests. Gonéri from Paris gives some hints for a definition for this conflict: For example, volunteers like new features, whereas companies prefer long term support.

Walid Nouh from Brussels says, he discovered a brandnew world with open source software. The IT consultant and developer worked the last five years exclusively on free software. He realizes that customers frequently ask about it: They don't know, but they want to try. Since 20 years now, he is also a strong believer in roller skates, so-called quadskates - still promoting them to the disadvantage of inline skates.

Rico Barth is probably able to spell the expanded meaning of the acronym OTRS ("Open Ticket Request System") backwards and forwards: The mathematician worked as system integrator for several years and made IT infrastructure and service management in 2006 with the founding of cape IT GmbH his very own business. His day starts at 5 a.m., he loves boogie woogie and he collects hats.

05.05.2011 Featured: Nicholas Marriott, tmux
Nicholas Marriott from Northern Ireland wrote the terminal multiplexer "tmux", because - so he said in an interview in 2009 [1] - he found the already existing terminal multiplexer "screen" too unpractical to extend. For his own tool he wanted to keep the codebase readable and extendable. This lesson he had learned was veryfied by another lesson, which his own project taught him: People use tools in surprisingly different ways.
