And I licked enough bloody envelopes for the free exhibit only passes that I better have a good time.
Chapel Hill, NC, April 16, 1999-- Representatives from Linux Expo '99 have announced the Business Keynote for the 5th Annual Linux Expo. John Paul, Senior VP of the new AOL products unit, at Netscape Communications has been added to the list of distinguished speakers. John Paul joins Red Hat Software's CEO and Chairman, Bob Young, the Kick Off Keynote Speaker and the Technical Keynote, Jim Gettys, one of the original authors of the X Window System. For three business-centered and technology-packed days, May 20-22, the fifth annual Linux Expo will take over the Raleigh Convention Center in Raleigh, NC.

John Paul, the former Netscape server SVP and general manager, will be heading up the new America Online Netscape browser project. "As head of Netscape's Server product division, John Paul has been actively involved in the most significant changes affecting the Internet and enterprise software markets over the last four years," commented Red Hat Software's Bob Young. "From this vantage point he is in a unique position to recognize the importance of Linux and the open source movement to the future of the computing industry."

With the addition of John Paul, the fifth annual Linux Expo Keynotes add another level of prestige to an already distinguished list of technical and business speakers. The conference is highlighted by industry experts sharing their Linux knowledge from the latest in kernel developments to open source enterprise solutions. In addition to a fabulous list of technical and business speakers, Linux Expo will also have some informal Birds of a Feather sessions for experts and new users alike, as well as, work-in-progress sessions showing some new and innovative roads Linux is taking. New this year, an ExtremeLinux Track introducing topics such as cluster creation and kernel programming like filesystems.

This year's Linux Expo is shaping up to be a can't-miss event. Visit the record number of Expo exhibitors showing the latest in Linux-based hardware, software, and service solutions. Join great companies like: IBM, Red Hat Software, SuSE, VA Research, Silicon Graphics, Hewlett Packard, BEA Systems, Linux Hardware Solutions, Caldera, Ki Networks, Magic Software, plus many more! In addition to the hardware, software, component and applications vendors, the Linux Expo will also keep with tradition and have the annual email garden, third annual Linux Bowl, paint ball, and other great activities for Linux gurus from across the globe.
