INTRODUCTION :
The following Linux conference links are in order according to
the month of the year in which the conference usually occurs ---
going from January through December.
NOTE:
After Feb 2020, when Covid-19 became evident in the United States,
some conferences were cancelled in 2020 and 2021 --- or they went
on-line on the internet.
When some conferences were restarted (in-person), circa 2022, the
conference dates may have shifted. And some conferences may have
been terminated before 2020. These changes may be indicated by a brief
note at some of the conferences below. The note is usually a link
to a WEB SEARCH for more information on the conference.
For some conferences, a Wikipedia link is provided.
The typical start and end dates are shown --- mainly to
indicate the length of the conference, in days.
A typical or recent host city is shown after the date.
Note that, for the most part, these are conferences in the U.S. ---
or Canada. Some international conferences are shown in some
'calendar' or 'list' web pages, whose links are provided below.
Some of the conferences are not purely Linux conferences, such as
Open Source Software (OSS) conferences. Some
include information on other operating systems such as Microsoft Windows
and/or Apple Mac. But those conferences include information that could
be of use to Linux users.
I have high-lighted some of the conferences --- some that
I may want to attend someday. The month-days are in a bold font.
Note :
You can use a 'Find text' option of your browser to find keywords
on this page,
such as 'open' or 'free' or 'chicago' or 'ny' or 'tcl'.
