Open Source Conferences

Here are a few conferences this year that will be of interest to Linux developers, particularly in the embedded and/or mobile space. Be sure to search around for those I have missed. I’ll add to this list as necessary. Conferences which I will be attending or at which I will be presenting are highlighted (so you all can track my movements). Finished conferences to the end (as I remember to do it).

UPDATE 4/21/09: I added the list of Real-Time and Embedded Computing Conference dates. These one-day conferences happen all over the world and are often keynoted by luminaries in the field.

If anyone is relying on this list and finds that it is now too cluttered or long, let me know and I’ll come up with an annotated calendar instead. ALSO, if you have attended any of these conferences, please leave a comment and let us know how it went! This page is visited a few dozen times daily by people all over the world.

Please also visit my recent writeup of ELC and Linux Collaboration Summit.
