Real World Linux 2004: Bigger and Better

Last year, the first appearance of Real World Linux in Toronto managed to stagger through its appointed hours even with the SARS virus preventing some
companies and presenters from attending–not to mention dampening the locals’ enthusiasm for being in large crowds.

This year saw a more accurate representation of Toronto’s interest in Linux. After the two major local newspapers turned out issues with around nine
pages of Linux coverage in total, the previously so-so registration numbers skyrocketed to double last year’s pre-registrations, bringing big smiles
to the convention staff’s faces even as it sent them into a preparatory panic.
