Does the Linux Desktop make sense for your business? Is your business ready to reap the benefits and handle the freedoms associated with an open source desktop? What is your Linux Desktop deployment criteria? In the Desktop Linux track, we will look at the state of the Linux desktop as it relates to desktop clients, laptops/tablets, thin clients, and even mobile desktops. Exciting advancements have placed the Linux desktop as a viable alternative for almost any desktop use in both homogeneous and heterogeneous computing environments.

Nothing is as permanent as a temporary hack that works. System administrators and IT managers have long been called on to make the quick fixes needed to implement a change or work around a bug in someone else's software. Today, though, the proliferation of virtual hosts means that even your quick hacks need to be manageable, repeatable, and secure. In these sessions, the attendee will learn repeatable coding patterns to keep your scripts safe, and how to develop his searching and code-borrowing powers.

No Open Source Conference would be complete without taking an in-depth look at the legal climate around software. Open Source licensing continues to evolve with the GPL v3 and AGPL v3 both now final and OSI certified. Multiple GPL infringement suits have now been brought and settled. Anyone involved in Open Source software needs to understand the latest legal issues. Learn in this track:
+ How to assure compliance with open source software licenses
+ Recent updates/changes to open source licenses
+ Recent legal activity surrounding the GPL
+ Impact of license choice on software usage and adoption
+ Recent initiatives on open source and patents
+ Impact of increased patent troll activity on open source

We turned on our auto-patch/update systems, we installed a firewall, and we told users not to use post-its on monitors to store their passwords, yet we still have systems being compromised. Open Source and peer review only gets you so far, it's time to take the nest step. This track will look at what we as implementers of technology need to keep on top of to really improve our state of security. From the OS to the applications, it's the whole view.

Virtualization is moving into the mainstream in the data center, bringing with it a new set of challenges in securely deploying and managing a virtual infrastructure. We'll address these challenges head-on with sessions covering when and how to deploy, interoperability, management strategies, security and more. These sessions will help the attendee get the most out of today's virtualization solutions while preparing him for the next generation of technology.

Linux in mobile telephony is today a lot more than just a kernel, device drivers and libraries. The Platforms Track will explore the evolution and diversity of Mobile Linux, addressing both commercial and community-based approaches. Presentations will examine platform architectures and underlying enabling technologies (UI and multimedia frameworks, multicore support, etc.), and encompass efforts to unify and standardize the mobile Linux landscape.

The quantity and quality of available applications for Linux-based mobile devices will determine not just the viability of each device but the success of the entire mobile Linux market. This track will examine how OEMs, operators, ISVs and individual developers create applications for Linux-based mobile devices today, and how they are likely to do so on the next generation of mobile Linux platforms. It will include presentations on both native Linux application paradigms as well as using Java, web, scripting and other development approaches. The track will also highlight hot topics like device openness, communities and operator/OEM developer programs, security and application signing, and end-to-end applications development.

If systems always worked as they were supposed to, there'd be no need for system administrators. This track will cover the skills and tools the attendee needs to solve problems in real time, and scale production systems as demand increases. The attendee will learn how to monitor his systems to anticipate problems before they happen, how to jump into action when necessary, and how to avoid those late-night pages that keep him from getting a good night's sleep.

Embedded Linux powers more than just mobile applications. Linux pervades consumer electronics, networking and telecommunications infrastructure, and has made impressive inroads in industrial control, automotive, medical, aerospace and defense, and other domains. According to industry analysts, embedded Linux powers between one quarter and one third of all current 32 and 64 bit designs.
The Embedded Linux Track at LinuxWorld explores how Linux enables applications across the gamut of intelligent devices, large and small, tethered and wireless, COTS and custom. Presentations and panels will address topics as diverse as development and life-cycles of Linux-based devices, user interfaces, embedded virtualization and other enabling technologies, and case studies from key applications areas.
