Entwicklertreffen

The first Linux Developers Meeting took place 1995 in Solingen. 15 developer have met in a large appartment where their host, Thorsten Floeck, was able to provide enough space, electricity and food. They developed drivers for Amiga computers.

During the following years Frank Neumann took over the job of running the meeting at the University of Oldenburg. Since then the Oldenburg Developers Meeting has been a successful tradition of Linux hacking.

From 1999, Martin Schulze took over the initiative to run the meeting. In 1999 and 2000 he organized a large Linux exhibition in addition to the meeting. The meetings are still held at the University Oldenburg whose Computing Center thankfully provides space, electricity, network and housing.
