The Linux-Kongress is one of the worlds leading Linux developer conferences aimed at the experienced developer community. One day of tutorials is followed by a two-day, two-track conference program, with a Linux exhibition to browse in between the talks. The conference language is English.
Organized by the German Unix User Group (GUUG) the Linux-Kongress will bring together for the 9th time Linux enthusiasts from around the world for talks about security, multimedia, clustering, new kernel developments and much more. You can also join your fellow developers in birds-of-a-feather sessions, sample the local beer at our Social Event and compete against your peers in the Linux-Kongress Komplete Konfusion Kuiz.
The conference takes place at the University of Cologne, Germany. On Wednesday, September 4 there are five tutorial to chose from. The conference itself will open on Thursday, September 5 with a keynote by Marcelo Tosatti, the maintainer of the 2.4 kernel tree.

The committee will not review papers that exceed the length limit, or papers in other formats such as Word or HTML. Extended Abstracts are acceptable, if they provide sufficient detail.
Submissions are due on September 2, 2002.
The program committee and external readers will judge papers on technical merit, significance, relevance, and presentation. A good paper will demonstrate that the authors:
Are attacking a significant problem, have devised an interesting, compelling solution, have demonstrated the practicality and benefits of the solution, have drawn appropriate conclusions, have clearly described what they have done, and have clearly articulated the advances beyond previous work. Please read the detailed USENIX author guidelines for more information. Accepted papers may be shepherded through an editorial review process by a member of the program committee.
The NordU conference, like most conferences and journals, does not allow submissions that are substantially similar to works that are previously published or are under review for publication elsewhere. Papers accompanied by non-disclosure agreement forms will not be read or reviewed.
Best Paper Awards Awards will be given for the best paper.
Work-in-Progress Reports Would you like to share a provocative opinion, interesting preliminary work, or a cool idea that will provoke discussion? The NordU technical sessions will include slots for work-in-progress reports and "outrageous" opinion statements. We are particularly interested in presentations of student work. To submit, please send a proposal (one page or less) to the program committee at pgm03@nordu.org.
Birds-of-a-Feather Sessions Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (BoFs) are informal gatherings organized by attendees interested in a particular topic. BoFs will be held in the evening. BoFs may be scheduled in advance by emailing the Program Committee at pgm03@nordu.org. BoFs may also be scheduled at the conference.
