Tracks

Providing focus on the specific needs that different organisations have, LinuxDays 2009 has four tracks each with their own themes, speakers and workshops. This provides organisations with a focussed collaboration and networking opportunity. This years tracks are: Open For Business, Public Administration & Government , Education and Grid Solutions.
 

Open for Business

Open Source technology has been deployed for many years within organisations, from the core infrastructure layer to business critical applications, from system administrators and power users to non technical users, key stakeholders, clients and consumers of an organisation. This track is for commercial enterprises of all sizes, not-for-profit international bodies and Non Governmental Organisations who want to see what others have done and what technological possibilities there are to help organisations meet their tactical needs and strategic objectives.

Public Administration

From the first edition, LinuxDays has included a track dedicated to public sector initiatives in the field of open source software. On one hand this is because in Europe this sector is often the engine in the broad acceptance and understanding of open source software, and on the other because the State of Geneva has for several years expressed its willingness to move in this direction.

Education

Where the future is born. Private, public, primary, secondary and higher education....all areas are using open source. Developing open source applications and implementing technology to improve the way our children are being educated to be able to grow with the fast changing environment that we now live in. Open Source in education is also critical to helping the developing world break down the technology divide.
 

Grid Solutions

Grid computing has become an important component of enterprise IT, adding a dimension of flexibility by enhancing one’s internal IT resource capacity when needed and stands out because of its flexible, dynamic, feature-rich resources. Grids and virtualization provide the plumbing which enable seamless access to distributed resources.
