According to the Linux Foundation's website, the event will serve to show end users how the Linux kernel community works, and let the kernel community find out more about the needs of end users.

The first morning of the conference, in particular, will have a strong focus on Linux in the enterprise, including a panel discussion on the evolution of Linux in business, and a question-and-answer session with representatives of Novell and Red Hat.

Interested parties can apply for an invitation through the Linux Foundation website.
