LinuxTag
From Free net encyclopedia
LinuxTag is a Free Software expo held every summer in southern Germany. It is a comparatively large expo, drawing visitors from many countries.
The LinuxTag byline is "where .COM meets .ORG", as it includes both representatives from commercial companies and from not-for-profit/community projects. The latter are given booths, free of charge, in the .org section, as long as there is room.
LinuxTag has also been a sponsor of the several other projects, notably of Knoppix, a GNU/Linux LiveCD. Knoppix is often used to showcase software running on GNU/Linux on a computer running some other operating system.
LinuxTag is sponsored by various IT-related companies and, at least in some of its iterations, by the German government.
