Mobile Linux Conference (part of LinuxWorld 2008 Linux World 2008) is taking place August 4-7, 2008 in San Francisco and is among 30 sessions there.

“During the last five years, Linux has made strong inroads into the mobile handset marketplace, as an embedded OS and as a platform for innovation. Today, on high-end “smart phones” and increasingly on mid-tier “feature phones”, Linux helps handset OEMs bring new intelligent devices to market faster and more cost-effectively.

The Mobile Linux Conference at LinuxWorld will not merely tout this progress, but explore how Linux-based platforms really work. The conference will offer developers insight into the technical capabilities of mobile Linux, avenues for creating and customizing mobile system software, and building applications on Linux-based mobile phones and phone “stacks”.

Mobile Linux Conference tracks will also detail technical and market challenges facing Linux deployment in mobile, at each stage of the mobile ecosystem, from chipmakers to OSVs to handset OEMs to operators and ISVs. Key themes will include the intersection of community, consortia and commercial concerns, and the creation and deployment of software for and by each.”

Looks like there are 3 tracks for mobile: 1.) Mobile Linux Platforms 2.) Building Applications on Mobile Linux, and 3.) Embedded Linux.

▪ Mobile Linux Platforms
The Platforms track will explore the evolution and diversity of Mobile Linux, addressing both commercial and community-based approaches.

▪ Building Applications on Mobile Linux
This track will examine how OEMs, operators, ISVs, and individual developers create applications for Linux-based mobile devices today, and how they are likely to do so on the next generation of mobile Linux platforms.

▪ Embedded Linux
This track explores how Linux enables applications across the gamut of intelligent devices, large and small, tethered and wireless, COTS and custom.
