`Linux Conference' is the leading and accepted Linux event in Japan. The 1st Linux Conference was held at Kyoto in the end of 1998 as the first nationwide scale full-blown Linux event in Japan. Through the history of this event, lots of community members such as hackers, developers and engineers meet with key persons who drive the major trend in the business applications of the Linux at this event as the greatest Linux meeting in Japan.
