LinuxWorld expanding to Spain, Poland in 2006
Nov. 08, 2005

IDG World Expo and analyst firm IDC will launch LinuxWorld Summits in Poland and Spain in 2006, bringing the total number of LinuxWorld events to 22 per year, in 19 countries. Both new events are scheduled for next spring, with actual dates to be announced soon.

Not surprisingly, the new LinuxWorld events are projected to be the largest dedicated open source events in both Poland and Spain.

"Linux is already well entrenched amongst end users and business in Poland and Spain," said Bianca W. Bruhn, vice president of IDC's Conferences Group. "The event will create a unique opportunity for end users and developers to learn from industry leaders in this market."

LinuxWorld is exclusively focused on Linux and open source solutions. The conference is already produced in the US (two events), Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Japan (two events), China (two events), Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Australia, the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Italy, Sweden, and South Africa.
