I can find no independent coverage of this rather short-lived (2003-2006) technical conference, other than this short article from the now-defunct DesktopLinux.com, which seems to have been run by eWeek. That counts for something, but I don't think it's enough to indicate notability. Yaron K. (talk) 15:00, 31 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Delete First, this has been a stub since at least 2009. Second, I can find some sources from the time and they are mainly about in-fighting among Linux vendors over the nature of the conference. While that itself may be of interest to some, it doesn't appear to me to be significant enough for an article. The conference itself seems to have petered out on its own.

Delete. Non-notable conference. I'd guess that a not insignificant amount of online coverage is from small websites that are now defunct and can't be found anymore. SWinxy (talk) 19:48, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Delete. It was covered in some depth by Linux Weekly News at the time, as they do for many conferences, but having had a look through their reports there wasn't anything remarkable about it. Adam Sampson (talk) 21:47, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
