[Speakers] Linux Migration Opportunities in Brazil

[philpinkerton]

Hello,

My name is Phil Pinkerton. I started a company called Maxlinux Inc. though it is an idea in progress still in the startup funding stage and looking for partners/investors, I was asked to Speak at the LinuxCorp2003 conference in São Paulo Brazil July 1-2. It was just a 1/2 hour discussion on Linux migration and benchmarks. The idea behind Maxlinux is to create a single point of reference for  a  customized migration path to Linux. The other part of Maxlinux is to provide an environment to run benchmarks from lmbench to TPC-C on the Linux platform, compare white and black boxes and publish results on a website. As the TPC-C benchmark can be expensive some profit can be made making the equipment available along with the expertise in TPC-C.

I have had contact with Conectiva, Consist, CA, MySQL, BEA, TPC.org, Performance Metrics, and the OSDL lab with regards to Maxlinux and they are interested in what happens with this idea.

I propose having a discussion and talk about my experience in Brazil and what they are doing as far as Linux goes and get feedback from the group on what they think about the Idea behind Maxlinux. I went to LinuxWorld 2002 and got real good feedback on the concept. On August
13th I have a telephone meeting with Stuart Cohen the CEO of OSDL and would like to have the feedback from SVLUG.

Let me know what you think about this. I will be at LinuxWorld AUG 5-7 and try to make the SVLUG meeting on the 6th, for sure I will be at the picnic on the 9th. ( I already RSVP'd ) but let me know if you need some help with the BBQ.

Regards,

Phil Pinkerton
Maxlinux, Inc.
Sunnyvale,CA.
