The Mobile Linux Conference

The Mobile Linux Conference is taking place August 5-7 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.

During the last five years, Linux has made strong inroads into the mobile handset marketplace, as an embedded OS and as a platform for innovation. Today, on high-end "smart phones" and increasingly on mid-tier "feature phones", Linux helps handset OEMs bring new intelligent devices to market faster and more cost-effectively.

The Mobile Linux Conference at LinuxWorld will not merely tout this progress, but explore how Linux-based platforms really work. The conference will offer developers insight into the technical capabilities of mobile Linux, avenues for creating and customizing mobile system software, and building applications on Linux-based mobile phones and phone "stacks".

Mobile Linux Conference tracks will also detail technical and market challenges facing Linux deployment in mobile, at each stage of the mobile ecosystem, from chipmakers to OSVs to handset OEMs to operators and ISVs. Key themes will include the intersection of community, consortia and commercial concerns, and the creation and deployment of software for and by each.
