LinuxWorld to visit Hub for 1st time

LinuxWorld Conference & Expo will come to Boston for the first time in February, underscoring the area's standing as a hub for the open-source software being adopted by thousands of businesses. Trade show producer IDG World Expo of Framingham said yesterday that next year's LinuxWorld event on the East Coast has been scheduled for Feb. 14-17 at the Hynes Veterans Memorial Convention Center. The show, highlighting the free computer software (and its penguin mascot) that has become an alternative to proprietary systems such as Microsoft's Windows, has alternated between San Francisco and New York since it was launched in 1999.
