这次 LinuxWorld Canada 展会是在加拿大的多伦多市进行，同时举行的还有 NetworkWorld Expo ，展会地点是在多伦多市会议中心，一楼展商区汇聚了这次展会共计超过100个的展商，您可以通过两者的结合，更好的得到您想要的东西，毕竟网络和Linux还是走得很近的。
Mambo就不用说了，在今年二月份的Linuxworld Boston展会上刚刚获得大奖，这次同样也获得不少赞誉。
Multi-award-winning software, Mambo (www.mamboserver.com), will be taking part in the LinuxWorld Conference & Expo, Canada, in Toronto, April 18-20, 2005.
Mambo is fast becoming a user and administrator favourite application for publishing web content without requiring traditional high-level skills. Mambo is the engine behind your website — simplifying the creation, management, and sharing of content — rapidly changing how people publish their words, pictures, products and services.
You can collect a free Live Linux Demo CD with Mambo pre-installed, from Booth 304, at the show.
Mambo 4.5.2 is a free Open Source Content Management System (CMS), licensed under the GNU/GPL. Written in PHP, Mambo is platform independent for both the client and server and aims to support as wide a user base as possible. Now available in over 50 languages from Arabic to Swahili, Chinese to Thai, Malay to Russian and even Welsh.
The Mambo Development Team, from all parts of the globe, focuses on building a solid application framework rather than on add-ons. This aims at keeping the Mambo core extremely lightweight and efficient, making it easier for anybody to extend Mambo through custom third party component and modules that directly serve their needs.
There is a large and active developer community with more than 20,000 registered developers working on over 900 third party add-ons at the Mambo-provided development server (www.mamboforge.net). To date mamboforge has had over 3 million downloads with an ever increasing trend.
Mambo fills a void previously too expensive, complicated or out-of- reach of most potential users of a CMS. Its success has been driven by a massive following of web developers and users ranging from professionals to hobbyists and is being used by varied sites, from Porsche (www.porsche.com.br) and Michael Jackson (www.mjjsource.com) to The Open CD (www.theopencd.org) and LinuxWorld Expo (www.linuxworldexpo.co.uk).
One of the best things about Mambo is its chameleon-like ability to change its appearance and content. It is being used as the engine powering sites that are editorial-based, sales-based, internal communications-based, technology-based or fun sites maintained by hobbyists.
Why? Because it's free, delivering more features and flexibility than many online content management systems that cost thousands. The Mambo team likes to think of 'free' in terms of both cost and as the freedom to use and customise as you wish. http://forum.mamboserver.com/ is the place for Mambo users, of all levels of experience, to share ideas, tips and techniques and to support each other.
Mambo's Canadian representative for the Toronto show is Michelle Bisson. You can meet Michelle at Booth 304. Michelle can be contacted at 4mambo@gmail.com, prior the show.
