LinuxTag

At LinuxTag (#linuxtag) 160 speakers, 70 projects, and 20 exhibitors showcase the Open Source experience. Talks explained that today Free Software is tied intrinsically to the Cloud and IT infrastructure. Tracks about config management, software deployment, virtualization, and Open Stack proved that claim. Greg Kroah-Hartman, maintainer of the Linux-Kernel, holds a keynnote.
With protection against NSA surveillance after Snowden up to the recent Heartbleed issue, two tracks, workshops, and a hacking contest all covered a very special subject during the conference.
