• Existing and future technologies

• Establishing a network of people within the project to share expertise and advice

Topics and sessions are built to provide practical education and training to all technical levels of attendees. These topics include (but are not limited to):

• Installation and maintenance of Linux
• Distribution specific information
• Basic Linux services such SSH, Apache, and Samba
• Networking and communications internally and externally with TCP/IP and related hardware
• Performance issues and tuning options
• Work with and influence IBM, as well as distributors and vendors
• Q&A sessions and open for a to allow for discussion of "hot topics"

Certificate Tracks are offered for the Linux stream of sessions. Certificates may be obtained for attending general Linux sessions or those sessions specific to the zSeries platform.
