The Ottawa Linux Symposium is coming up. When I went there last year,
I enjoyed it; plus, I got some good summer job leads. People like
Jonathan Corbet of www.lwn.net fame and Theodore T'so were there.

The conference is from Wed. July 19th to Sat. night July 22nd. You end
up staying longer if you also register for the extra desktop
developers' / Kernel Summit / GCC conferences that are before and
after. The OLS website is http://www.linuxsymposium.org if you're
interested. At http://wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Linux_Symposium there
are links to the sister conference websites.

Normal early registration is $350 ($200 for students.) If you register
today or tomorrow, it's $300 ($150 for students).

Another early bird deadline coming up is for the
LinuxWorld/NetworkWorld expo right here in Toronto. That's Mon. April
24 - Wed. April 26 (there are LinuxWorld conferences in other cities
too). The deadline is March 17.

Admission to the trade show is free for all if you preregister at
http://www.lwnwexpo.plumcom.ca. Admission to the full conference is
$800 to $925 if you register before March 17. Students who sign up as
volunteers get to see the presentations they volunteer at for free.

Note: OLS is targeted at hobbyists who already know a fair bit about
Linux. You meet lots of open-source developers working on everything
from the Linux kernel to Firefox. LWN is targeted at businesspeople
and the speakers focus on stuff useful to businesses.

Cheers,
Jason
