vertical line 3rd Annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit
April 8 - 10, 2009 - Hotel Kabuki, San Francisco, CA
This event is co-located with the CELF Embedded Linux Conference and the Linux Storage and Filesystem Workshop.

We would like to thank our keynote speakers, panelists, moderators, presenters and everyone else who helped make the 3rd Annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit a great success.

With 425+ attendees and a wide range of tracks, the Collaboration Summit brought together key members of the Linux community to interact, discuss and share ideas with one another in an environment that encouraged face-to-face interaction, productive discussions and allowed attendees to work towards solving the most pressing issues facing Linux today.

This gathering of core kernel developers, distribution maintainers, ISVs, end users, system vendors and other community organizations is the only event designed to accelerate collaboration and the Linux Foundation is very encouraged by all of the progress that was made.

The slides from the presentations are available here.  Additional slides will be added as they are received.

Video recordings of the presentations are available here.

We will see you all in Portland in September for LinuxCon and Tokyo in October for the Japan Linux Symposium.

The 2009 Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit will be held at the Hotel Kabuki in San Francisco, CA.

The Hotel Kabuki is a premier Japanese-style hotel located in San Francisco and renovated in 2007. Located right in the heart of town, the hotel is just a few blocks away from Pacific Heights' Fillmore Street with its stylish boutiques and well-known restaurants. Union Square, the Golden Gate Bridge, Golden Gate, Chinatown and the famed cable cares are also nearby. The Hotel Kabuki is easy to reach by car, airport shuttle or public transportation. Three municipal bus lines stop within a block of the Hotel Kabuki and provide excellent service throughout the city.

Hotel Accommodations
The Linux Foundation has secured room blocks and discounted room rates at the Hotel Kabuki and its sister hotel, the Hotel Tomo, which is located less than two blocks away.

Hotel Kabuki

Hotel Tomo

The Hotel Kabuki and Hotel Tomo room blocks are now closed.  We encourage you to check the hotel's website and/or Expedia to still reserve a room, though it won't be at the previously negotiated discount rate.

Air Travel
Reserve your air travel as soon as possible. San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is the closest major airport. It is 25-minutes from the airport to downtown San Francisco. Oakland International Airport (OAK) is a 30-minute drive over the Bay Bridge. If you require transportation between the airport and hotel, we recommend you contact the hotel's transportation partner, Lorrie's Airport Service. The approximate cost from San Francisco Airport (SFO) to the Hotel Kabuki or Hotel Tomo is $15. You can book online here.

Ground Transportation and Parking
Parking is available at the Japan Center Garage (which is attached to the Hotel Kabuki) for $15/day.  The garage is located between Geary and Post (on the north and south sides) and Webster and Buchanan (on the east and west sides).  The garage entrances are located on Geary and Post, between Webster and Buchanan.  You can access the hotel directly from the garage on the far east side.

Valet parking is also available at the Hotel Kabuki for $35/day. The Hotel Tomo also has very limited parking available at $20/day.
