On June 1-3, 2005, the leading minds in open source will come together in New Orleans for the first-annual Red Hat Summit.
Whether your interest lies in the business of Linux, the latest technologies developed in the community, or open source advocacy, the Summit is the perfect opportunity to interact with those involved in shaping its future. It's where the ideas and technology of open source meet.
If you haven't registered yet, here are just a few reasons why now is the perfect time.
A range of sessions and venues will offer educational opportunities for everyone. Small technical sessions provide a close look at open source technology in-depth. In interactive discussions, you'll have the chance to talk about the technology you care about most. And if you're looking for a vision of what's next, keynote speakers that span across industries will share their own unique perspectives. What types of sessions can you expect?
For sys admins: Sessions range from performance optimizations and high performance computing clusters to building a failover cluster or storage configuration and SELinux policy management.
For developers: Hands-on sessions feature subjects ranging from application and tools development to building technology around platforms like the Fedora Project.
For executives: Sessions will detail the latest trends in the business of Linux and how to derive the most value in the enterprise infrastructure from open source technology.
For advocates: Participate in interactive discussions on issues shaping open source, such as its role in government, international expansion, intellectual property, and volunteerism.
Open source is all about collaboration--and what better way to collaborate and share ideas than the Summit. With small interactive sessions during the day and receptions at night, you'll meet not only Linux leaders, but community experts and Red Hat engineers.
The Summit also offers an opportunity to meet the people who actually develop and use the technology you care about most. Want to know why anew feature didn't make into the latest release of your favorite app? What's coming in future releases? This is your chance to ask.
The global open source movement continues to gain momentum. How has it changed the world? And what's next? You'll see it firsthand.
But that's not all you'll see. This is New Orleans, right? Any city with the motto "Let the good times roll" is begging for a few minutes of your free time. When the conference sessions are over, take sometime to enjoy one of the world's most entertaining cities. Like to eat? You're in luck. Like jazz? It practically started here. You'll share some Po'Boys, see the sights, and let the good times roll New Orleans style.
For only $999 you get three nights accommodations at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, entrance into all official Red Hat Summit activities, and meals at the conference. Any way you add it up--it's a great deal.
Getting there is easier, too. We worked with Orbitz to create a special site for booking travel to the Summit.
And now is the best time to register. The first 600 registrants will be entered into a drawing to win one of three free Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) training classes, each valued at $2,500.
See you at the Summit.
Sessions, times, and speakers are subject to change.
