Applications
Linux and open source applications are being used in increasingly innovative ways; stretching far beyond web and application servers. This track is focused on presenting attendees with the how-to behind the most innovative applications. The applications track will consider novel Linux and open source software applications not specifically covered by other tracks at the conference. Track Chair: William Hurley

Desktop Linux
Does the Linux Desktop make sense for your business? Is your business ready to reap the benefits and handle the freedoms associated with an open source desktop? What is your Linux Desktop deployment criteria? In the Desktop Linux track, we will look at the state of the Linux desktop as it relates to desktop clients, laptops/tablets, thin clients, and even mobile desktops. Exciting advancements have placed the Linux desktop as a viable alternative for almost any desktop use in both homogeneous and heterogeneous computing environments. Track Chair: John Cherry

Quick and Dirty Development
Nothing is as permanent as a temporary hack that works. System administrators and IT managers have long been called on to make the quick fixes needed to implement a change or work around a bug in someone else's software. Today, though, the proliferation of virtual hosts means that even your quick hacks need to be manageable, repeatable, and secure. In these sessions, the attendee will learn repeatable coding patterns to keep your scripts safe, and how to develop his searching and code-borrowing powers. Track Chair: Don Marti

Legal and Licensing
No Open Source Conference would be complete without taking an in-depth look at the legal climate around software. Open Source licensing continues to evolve with the GPL v3 and AGPL v3 both now final and OSI certified. Multiple GPL infringement suits have now been brought and settled. Anyone involved in Open Source software needs to understand the latest legal issues. Learn in this track:
+ How to assure compliance with open source software licenses
+ Recent updates/changes to open source licenses
+ Recent legal activity surrounding the GPL
+ Impact of license choice on software usage and adoption
+ Recent initiatives on open source and patents
+ Impact of increased patent troll activity on open source

SecurityWe turned on our auto-patch/update systems, we installed a firewall, and
we told users not to use post-its on monitors to store their passwords,
yet we still have systems being compromised. Open Source and peer review
only gets you so far, it's time to take the nest step. This track will
look at what we as implementers of technology need to keep on top of to
really improve our state of security. From the OS to the applications,
it's the whole view.

Virtualization
Virtualization is moving into the mainstream in the data center, bringing with it a new set of challenges in securely deploying and managing a virtual infrastructure. We'll address these challenges head-on with sessions covering when and how to deploy, interoperability, management strategies, security and more. These sessions will help the attendee get the most out of today's virtualization solutions while preparing him for the next generation of technology. Track Chair: Mark Skarpness

Mobile Linux PlatformsLinux in mobile telephony is today a lot more than just a kernel, device
drivers and libraries. The Platforms Track will explore the evolution
and diversity of Mobile Linux, addressing both commercial and
community-based approaches. Presentations will examine platform
architectures and underlying enabling technologies (UI and multimedia
frameworks, multicore support, etc.), and encompass efforts to unify and
standardize the mobile Linux landscape.
Track Chair: Bill Weinberg

Building Mobile Linux ApplicationsThe quantity and quality of available applications for Linux-based
mobile devices will determine not just the viability of each device but
the success of the entire mobile Linux market. This track will examine
how OEMs, operators, ISVs and individual developers create applications
for Linux-based mobile devices today, and how they are likely to do so
on the next generation of mobile Linux platforms. It will include
presentations on both native Linux application paradigms as well as
using Java, web, scripting and other development approaches. The track
will also highlight hot topics like device openness, communities and
operator/OEM developer programs, security and application signing, and
end-to-end applications development.

System Troubleshooting
If systems always worked as they were supposed to, there'd be no need for system administrators. This track will cover the skills and tools the attendee needs to solve problems in real time, and scale production systems as demand increases. The attendee will learn how to monitor his systems to anticipate problems before they happen, how to jump into action when necessary, and how to avoid those late-night pages that keep him from getting a good night's sleep. Track Chair: Joe Brockmeier

Embedded Linux
Embedded Linux powers more than just mobile applications. Linux pervades consumer electronics, networking and telecommunications infrastructure, and has made impressive inroads in industrial control, automotive, medical, aerospace and defense, and other domains. According to industry analysts, embedded Linux powers between one quarter and one third of all current 32 and 64 bit designs.
The Embedded Linux Track at LinuxWorld explores how Linux enables applications across the gamut of intelligent devices, large and small, tethered and wireless, COTS and custom. Presentations and panels will address topics as diverse as development and life-cycles of Linux-based devices, user interfaces, embedded virtualization and other enabling technologies, and case studies from key applications areas.
