a demo, a case study, personal experience, howtos,...please send me an

* I know that Linux is included in OSS, for marketing reasons we
decided to call it "Linux and FOSS workshop" because Linux is more
popular than OSS (which open another debate mathematical and
philosophical: an element is more important than the whole set!)
