Conference

Once again, a wide cross-section of the Linux development community gathered at the start of July for the UKUUG's summer technical conference. The conference moves about the UK from year to year: in 2002 we visited Bristol which has Brunel's magnificent Suspension Bridge.

Speakers travelled from nine countries around the globe to present their work and formed our largest programme to-date. We began on Thursday 4th July with tutorials on Shared Libraries, given by Ulrich Drepper, the glibc maintainer, and the Linux Terminal Server Project, given by the project's founder, Jim McQuillan.

After a Linux printing workshop on Friday morning (CUPS/KDEPrint), the conference proper began at lunchtime and ran through to Sunday lunchtime. Highlights of the programme included:

The conference dinner was held aboard The Shoots floating restaurant on the Friday evening.

Our conference and tutorial registration fees were again low thanks to generous sponsorship from IBM and AMD.
