… new sponsors to be announced. Special Note: We already have four candidates for award. Go to our web site at www.marketaccess.org to view a summary of their award submission. Purpose of Conference: Twenty-six percent (26%) of federal installations have reported use of the Linux operating system in their organization, as reported by IDC. IDC also estimates that "most of the government's sophisticated, back-office computers will be running Linux by 2002." Just when agencies are turning to enterprise-wide solutions and mainframe class applications, the Linux operating system offers a new and exciting alternative. This will be a one-day conference that will present agency plans and strategies for deploying new and innovative Linux applications. The conference will focus on those Linux applications that are in the early or test bed stage AND will likely evolve into enterprise-level deployments.
