Our Programs
Community Leadership Summit
The Community Leadership Summit brings together community leaders, organizers and managers and the projects and organizations that are interested in growing and empowering a strong community. The event pulls together the leading minds in community management, relations and online collaboration to discuss, debate and continue to refine the art of building an effective and capable community. The Community Leadership Summit (CLS) was founded by Jono Bacon and has been held annually since its inception in 2008. CLS joined LinuxFests in 2016.
DevOps Day LA is a single day event dedicated to the DevOps community, and professionals who wish to improve the interaction and integration between these traditional silos of Development and Operations. It has been held annually in the Greater Los Angeles area since 2011.
Program Chair: Chris Smith, Bryna Kirzner, Chris Webber, Jordan Schwartz
DevOpsDays Silicon Valley
DevOpsDays Silicon Valley is a self-organizing conference for practitioners interested in discussing their DevOps Journey. DevOpsDay Silicon Valley launched in 2010, and joined LinuxFests in 2014.
SCALE, also known as the Southern California Linux Expo is a community and volunteer organized event focused on free and open source software. Founded in 2002, the event has grown from humble beginings into the largest open source event in North America.
ShellCon is a information security conference that is held annually in the beautiful beach cities of Los Angeles. The conference is focused on creating an atmosphere of open communication, collaboration, and connection.
Program Chair: Sean McAllister, Lori Barfield, Zach Pahle
Texas Linux Fest
Texas Linux Fest is the first state-wide, community-run conference for Linux and open source software users and enthusiasts from around the Lone Star State. Much like SCALE in Los Angeles, Ohio Linux Fest in Columbus, and Linux Fest Northwest – and an ever-growing list of successful regional shows – Texas Linux Fest is a weekend event geared towards individual users, rather than an expensive multi-workday expo that might cater primarily to sponsored attendees. Whether you use free software and Linux at home, in your place of business, in your school or non-profit, or you are simply curious, Texas Linux Fest offers something for you.
