LinuxTag
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LinuxTag is a Free Software expo with an emphasis on Linux (but also BSD), held every summer in southern Germany. It is relatively large, claiming that it is the largest expo of this kind in Europe, 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 several other projects, notably of Knoppix, a GNU/Linux LiveCD. Knoppix is often used to showcase software running on GNU/Linux on a computer configured with a different operating system (usually Microsoft Windows or Mac OS X).
LinuxTag is sponsored by various IT-related companies and, at least in some of its iterations, by the German government.
