IDG Contributor Network: 8 reasons LinuxCon is a must-attend event

This year LinuxCon North America will be held in Toronto. I have attended and covered LinuxCon every year since 2009, and I will be there again this year.
It is the only tech event that I bring my whole family to. Last year I met Linus Torvalds again and told him that my son is big enough now to run around. He said he knew and pulled out his phone to show me picture of my son chasing Tux the penguin around the venue. My son was more popular than I was...a proud moment for any dad. Swapnil Bhart
