GUUG will organize in 2008 the 15th edition of this event, first started in 1994 in Heidelberg, Linux-Kongress made its trip through a variety of German cities, Netherlands and on the English isle (LinuxConf Europe). Since its start 14 years ago Linux-Kongress has been evolved into the most important meeting for Linux experts and developers in Europe. You are invited to participate in this traditional Linux event by giving a presentation about your current development work, experiences with Linux on a high level, and your future plans. The Linux-Kongress will be the best opportunity for Open Source developers to meet in Europe and exchange ideas about current and upcoming projects that play and will play an important role for Linux.
The conference language is English. The conference is divided into a tutorial program and technical sessions, both lasting two days.
On Tuesday and Wednesday (October 7 and 8), a number of tutorials will be presented, all related to Linux and Open Source. Tutorials both for beginners and for more advanced users as well as developers will be included. Tutors may offer tutorials with a length of either one, two days or half a day.
