As the LinuxWorld Expo conference, slated for August 4th to 7th in San Francisco, starts to take shape, more news is emerging about events to happen there. Oracle CIO Mark Sunday, IBM VP of Open Source and Standards Bob Sutor, and Kevin Clark, Director of IT Operations for LucasFilm are all slated to give keynote addresses. As of today, conference organizers have also announced a charitable "Installfest" event, where show attendees will be invited to customize donated hardware with open source software, to put computers in the hands of underprivileged children.

At LinuxWorld, Untangle is organizing an Installfest event to donate open source (Ubuntu) computers to schools in need of technology resources. The Alameda County Computer Resource Center (ACCRC) is donating the hardware. The ACCRC recycles discarded computers from businesses, government and the public.
