    Last year, together with colleagues from Aichi-Events, we held the first large international Linux conference in St. Petersburg. It was a one-day conference with reports in 3 parallel streams. We wanted to make an event of this level and scale in Russia after a trip to many wonderful Linux conferences in the States, Canada and Europe.

    For the first time, we gathered 150 people, to be exact 148, then it was mainly St. Petersburg and Moscow, although there were more than enough guests from Russia and abroad.

    The composition of the participants was quite predictable: almost half were programmers, one third were system administrators, the rest were representatives of universities and technical managers.

    As we wanted, we did a conference without marketing, sales and PR. The reports contained only technical information on how what works from the inside, where it is moving, and how the project will develop. It turned out very high quality!

    Key conference speakers included: Pavel Emelyanov (Architect / OpenVZ, Moscow), Daniel Nagy (Managing director / ePoint Systems / Hungary), John Ronciak (SW Architect / Intel / USA), Allen Hubbe (Software engineer / EMC / USA) and Ilya Cosmodemyansky (CEO and consultant / PostgreSQL-Consulting / Germany).

    In the first stream, English speakers and several Russian speakers spoke, whose reports were simultaneously translated into English for foreign guests. There was no translation into Russian. This year we will do both streams in English, but more on that below ...

    Below in the article are the ten best reports of last year according to participants' estimates. Almost all the reports received very high marks, so the rating is more likely a guide to what to look in the first place.

    We also invite Linux experts to share their experiences and knowledge.and make an interesting and useful presentation. Speakers, of course, participate for free, in addition to them we do an excursion program on the third day of the conference, and if possible we will try to cover their transportation costs and accommodation.
