Speaker : Indulis Bernsteins
Topic   : IBM and the penguin
Summary
-------
IBM is making an investment of over US$1B a year in support for Linux
and open source software. Where is this money going? What about IBM's
own UNIX-based AIX operating system?  Why would the world's biggest
computer company want to support free software? What about Linux on
mainframes, what's all that about?

The answers to these questions, and many more will be attempted by
Indulis Bernsteins in a presentation about IBM and the penguin.
