| Seminar: Managing your business with Linux/Open Source software |
Jul. 29, 2004
Trying to figure out how to run your business using Linux and Open Source software? A one day event in the Boston area, sponsored by Cambridge-based PCsForEveryone, will focus on planning, deploying, and managing your IT infrastructure with Linux/OSS.
The seminar is designed to train IT and system administrators on key concepts and issues about moving to Linux or bringing management techniques to Linux installations already deployed in their enterprises. Strategy sessions will help attendees plan their IT architecture, examine the cost/benefit analysis of a move to open source, and develop an action plan.
Featured speakers include Dr. John Horn, CEO of Interstate Software, and Laurent Gharda, co-founder of new Linux management startup, Open Country. Dr. Horn heads up the only MySQL training center in North America and has authored MySQL Essential Knowledge McGraw-Hill Osbourne July 2004, MySQL Considerations, and Pros and Cons of MySQL Table Types. Gharda, a veteran of Veritas, HP, and other software companies, holds patents that address the manageability of application software, system software, and enabling firmware in computer systems and embedded devices.
Morgan Lim, the event's organizer, says, "In spite of all the attention paid to open source by the media [and] its freight train-like momentum in adoption rate, as a sales professional I still notice huge gaps between customers, end users, and open source/linux vendors."
The Linux in Business conference will be held on Wednesday, August 18th from 9 am to 3 pm at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, MA. The cost is US $50.
