Boston, MA — (press release excerpt) — In response to growing global demand for IDG's LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, the company today announced it will launch a new show in Ireland this November, followed by an expanded schedule of international 2002 event dates.

Ireland's first LinuxWorld Conference & Expo is scheduled to take place November 23-24 in Dublin.
