From August 4-7, Swansea, South Wales is playing host to the 2005 Linux Conference on the campus of the University of Wales, Swansea. This event is being organized by the UK Unix User's Group (UKUUG).

This conference is held in a different UK location each year and will feature some of the latest developments in the Linux and free/open source software world. This year's keynote speaker is Dave Miller (a Red Hat systems engineer), who is currently the Linux networking maintainer and SPARC64 port maintainer. Many other topics will be covered by the conference from Python to Xen and OpenOffice.org to e-Government.

In addition, Mark Taylor of the Open Source Consortium (OSC) will be giving a State of the Nation update on the progress to make open source a more widely accepted part of public sector procurement in the UK.

Following the tradition of previous years, the first day of the conference will feature three tutorials. The first is an all day tutorial on advanced Linux networking. There are also two half-day tutorials on vim and zsh. The talks are then held over the following two and a half days in two streams.
