“The Linux market is expanding, just as the workloads for Linux deployments are expanding. We will work with the community and industry over the next three days and into the rest of the year on how to fuel this growth,” said Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation.

The Summit is heralded as the only place where Linux community developers, distribution and system vendors, ISVs, and end users meet face-to-face and collaborate. While there are a variety of industry and developer conferences, the LF Collaboration Summit is the only one to bridge the worlds of community and industry, while allowing end users to access and influence these two important groups. It is designed to accelerate collaboration and problem solving in the Linux community by bringing key stakeholders together in a neutral setting.
