All:
I imagine that some of you would be interested in hearing about some of
the speakers who will be coming to FOSS.IN/2005, from far away shores.

Many people have an impact on their chosen field in a singular manner -
typically through a specific project, or a specific direction. It is rare

the third edition.
He is also the editor of the world’s most respected FOSS publication to be
found online – the one place where *everyone* goes to read unbiased news,
reviews and commentary about the FOSS world.
Our first visiting speaker is Jonathan Corbet, co-author of “Linux Device
Drivers”, and editor of LWN.NET, aka “Linux Weekly News”.

events for the community, having himself helped bring to life one of the
most famous of them all.
From Linux Australia, we have Andrew Cowie. Continue reading ‘Invited speakers list of FOSS.IN’
