Linux Symposium
open-in-new
<p>The Linux Symposium was a <a href="/facts/Linux/9FvCKSTq">Linux</a> and <a href="/facts/Open_source/7X9rCdz4">open source</a> conference held annually in <a href="/facts/Canada/cWWFM8oc">Canada</a> from 1999 to 2014. The conference was initially named Ottawa Linux Symposium and was held only in <a href="/facts/Ottawa/x5FkqX7F">Ottawa</a>, but was renamed after being held in other cities in Canada. Even after the name change, however, it was still referred to as OLS. The conference featured 100+ paper presentations, tutorials, birds of a feather sessions and mini summits on a wide range of topics. There were 650 attendees from 20+ countries in 2008. </p>
