Welcome to the Florida Linux Show 2009

The Florida Linux Show was so good last year that we are going to put on two Florida Linux Shows in 2009. The Florida Linux Show is all about business, making money with Linux & Open Source Software, and matching the right products with the right business. This show is for the business minded novice, intermediate, and expert users. It also attracts larger, medium, and small businesses to the First Coast Florida beaches and sunshine.

Mark your calendar for March 9th, come to the show, enjoy the day, and remember, don't take Linux from strangers!

The Florida Linux Show 2009 Jacksonville continues to review and monitor the current economic situation and for those looking for work we will have company representatives at the show for you to consult with regarding your career and available job opportunities.
