Factoid of the day: there were 18,000 attendees at the recent LinuxWorld Expo & Conference which took place August 26-30, 2001 in San Francisco, CA. According to IDG World Expo PR director Brooke Selby, the attendance for the most recent three LinuxWorld shows has been . . .

• San Jose, CA — August, 2000 — 20,000
  
• New York, NY — February, 2001 — 25,000
  
• San Francisco, CA –… August 2001 — 18,000

The turnout was less than the 20-25,000 that IDG had earlier predicted, but better than what many had anticipated given the current worldwide economic downturn, according to Selby.
