Linux Symposium
The Linux Symposium is a Linux and Open Source conference held annually in Canada. The conference is commonly referred to as OLS, from Ottawa Linux Symposium, though it is no longer necessarily held in Ottawa every year. The conference features 100+ paper presentations, tutorials, birds of a feather sessions and mini summits on a wide range of topics. There were 650 attendees from 20+ countries in 2008.
The Linux Symposium is one of the three major international grass-roots Linux and Open Source conferences in the world. The other two are linux.conf.au and Linux Kongress.
