Tech firms at LinuxWorld Expo, but end-users shy

Reuters reports on the corporate presence at LinuxWorld. “Standing at his booth … Thursday, Jim
Graham, chief technology officer of CodeWeavers, pined
as he compared last year’s Linux World Conference and
Expo with the one this week.

‘There’s kind of a lack of a community,’ said the
executive … The lords of Linux are no longer Don Quixotes living in the
counterculture of the operating systems world. Fewer pony-tails and
beards, which proliferated at earlier conferences that promoted open
source, were in evidence this year.”
