Ottawa Linux Symposium 2008: Call For Papers

The Call for Papers for OLS, or, better to be known as "The Linux Symposium" since this will be the last year it is held in Ottawa, came out yesterday. This year the committee is going to go all out for the 10th anniversary of the conference and expects to have multiple keynote speakers in addition to the normal BOFs, presentations and tuturials. And, the facilitators will provide space for mini-summits before the actual conference. And, the program committee is working to expand the topics to include additional areas of innovation around Linux. These might include creative uses of virtualization, as opposed to strictly the implementation of virtualization, mechanisms for improved power management, overall improvements to desktop or handheld usability, or new technologies that are emerging in the Linux ecosystem.

The 2008 Linux Symposium should be the best symposium yet! Make sure to submit your papers early and register early as prices rise closer to the actual conference.
