April 4th, 2001	OPENING KEYNOTE SESSION
9:30AM-1:00PM Register now!	Moderator: Jaime E. Villate, PH.D., Faculdade de Engenharia
10:00AM	1. Erich Clementi, VP Enterprise Systems Sales, EMEA, IBM Innovation for e-business with Linux (in English) There is no question that e-business has evolved, creating unprecedented change in the computing environment and dramatically impacting the way the world conducts business. No longer defined by cool browser technology or innovative business models, today, e-business has become "business" -- real business. Serious business. It has to work everywhere. It has to work seamlessly. It has to work all the time. And the infrastructures that support it must be open, fast, secure, reliable and intelligent. With technology accelerating super-exponentially, we're now entering a second phase -- call it the next generation of e-business -- a period that will be simultaneously more mature, more exciting, and more important. Erich Clementi, VP Enterprise Systems Sales of IBM Europe, Middle East and Africa -- the company that defined the first generation of e-business some six years ago -- opens Linux Expo with his view on the importance of Linux, its future and the innovation it is driving throughout the industry as well as how it is influencing IBM's next generation e-business strategy. In doing so, Mr. Clementi will explain why Linux is appealing and discuss the rationale behind why companies -- like IBM -- are embracing it so aggressively.
10:30AM	2. Dirk Hohndel, CTO, SuSE (in English) Linux and Open Source, an obvious choice Not until long ago, people asked "why should I use Linux or Open Source?". With the vast success of Open Source technology, this question is rarely asked anymore. This talk will explain why, and will show you the roots and some of the future of the Linux OS.
11:00AM	3. Richard Curran, Solutions Enabling & Services Intel EMEA Linux evolution on Intel Arquitecture Today most of Linux deployments is happening on Intel(R) Pentium(R) Processor based systems, and with new kernel release 2.4, Linux has grown to become a stable, capable UNIX*-like operating system. Intel itself, but also with many other respected partners, is driving that forward to ensure development of enterprise features like reliability, availability and scalability. Examples of that is kernel tree for Intel(R) Itanium(TM) Processor based systems, developed in a community based project, driven by Intel in team with other critical Linux companies. Preproduction Intel Itanium Processor based system running Linux are currently available to many ISVs and Linux community, and kernel released to open source in February 2000 is now part of Linux beta distributions. To hear more about what Intel is doing in Linux space, like Intel C/C++ Compiler, Infiniband enabling, Open Source Development Lab (large, scalable lab to support development of data center class capabilities in Linux), and more about new things coming, attend Intel's keynote session.
11:30AM	4. Miguel De Icaza, CTO, Ximian/Helix Code Inc. The GNOME 2.0 platform This talk will discuss the issues that are being addressed as part of the GNOME 2.0 platform and the challenges free software faces to be adopted on the desktop.
12:00AM	5. Henry Poole, CEO, MandrakeSoft Living copy left (in English) Mandrakesoft CEO, Henri Poole will discuss how a fully open culture fosters Cambrian like advances in evolution and technology. In particular, he will illustrate how the open source ideology is forcing the traditionally control-oriented business mind, a direct product of the industrial revolution, to shed its foundations of egocetricism and to open the way for human creativity and decency. Open source is not just about software, it's about collaboration and working for the greater good.
12:30AM	6. Bruno Cornec, Linux Program Manager Europe , HP Deployment of Linux servers in a Nutshell Linux has now gained acceptance in IT environment, and now new problems as deployment and management of hundreds of Linux servers are arising. Hewlett-Packard helps its customers by providing various means to support such deployment such as drivers, preloaded systems, remote installation operation modes, management tools, and accompanying support and training.
	Hewlett-Packard (HP) invites the Keynote audience to a fabulous cocktail starting at 1:15PM. Don't miss it!
