The first LinuxWorld Conference & Expo ever in Australia
SUNSHINE IN SYDNEY
March 2006 saw the first LinuxWorld Conference & Expo ever in Australia. The event was held in perfect weather over three days in Sydney.
LinuxWorld Australia had a combination of excellent speakers and a genuine effort to cater to business and government. There was also some strong community participation in LinuxWorld, which really showed business and government representatives the value of the community itself. LinuxWorld came to Australia at an excellent time, when businesses and Government agencies are becoming keenly interested in FOSS but are struggling to find vendor-neutral information. LinuxWorld provided that opportunity, and we saw at the event many people who hadn’t had their needs catered to in the past.
