Press Release Summary = The UK's only Linux event to take place at Olympia 2,
23-24th October 2007

Press Release Body = London, 28th June 2007: LinuxWorld 2007 is tipped to set the
latest trends in Open Source and Linux technologies. The show, which is expected to
attract IT decision makers, business professionals and Linux enthusiasts, will
showcase the latest technology, debate the use of Open Source in the desktop
environment, touch on the use of Linux in the datacentre and discuss the development
of a common Linux-based platform for mobile phones. LinuxWorld Conference & Expo
will take place at Olympia 2, 23rd -24th October 2007.

The show is the only Linux and Open Source event in the UK and will appeal to a
cross section of industries including automotive, health, banking, retail, education
and local government. Participation has already been confirmed by some of the
largest players in the Open Source world including ThoughtWorks, Linux International
and Mozilla.

"Many industry watchers thought that the recent launch of Microsoft Vista would have
challenged the ever-increasing update of Linux and Open Source within the
enterprise," commented Laura Tythcott, event director, Early Action Group, who is
organising the event. "But that is not the case, many corporations who would have
shied away from Linux and Open Source, now see it as a viable alternative to Vista
as it requires less training and is just as easy to use."

"LinuxWorld 2007 is set to be the biggest and best UK show ever. It will showcase
the latest Open Source technology and have experts on hand to help IT Managers and
Directors make the best choices when purchasing and deploying Open Source software,"
added Tythcott.
