A star line up of keynote speakers has been announced for LinuxWorld Conference & Expo 99 by International Data Group (IDG), the organisers of the March convention.

The event will feature key speeches from Dr. Michael Cowpland, president and CEO of Corel Corporation, Mark Jarvis, senior vice president of worldwide marketing, Oracle, and Linus Torvalds, creator of the open-source software, Linux.

Hosted by the IDG World Expo president, Charles Greco, the conference is one of the first international expositions to address the wide variety of business and technology issues surrounding Linux.

Greco believes it will be a landmark event for IDG as well as the Linux community. Over 8,000 independent and corporate Linux developers and professionals are expected to attend.

LinuxWorld Magazine, Linux Journal, InfoWorld, Macworld, Network World and Sys Admin are sponsoring the event.

IDG's Web publishing unit is also behind the http://linuxworld.com Web site launched last October.
