SCO Forum
Beginning in 1987, Santa Cruz Operation held an annual Summer conference for the international UNIX systems community. Originally called "The SCO XENIX 386 Developer Conference", this unique educational conference was held on the redwood-forested campus of the University of California at Santa Cruz, overlooking the Monterey Bay.
Under Caldera, the conference was renamed "SCO Forum". After Caldera Systems acquired SCO's Server and Services divisions in 2001, the conference was moved to Las Vegas, where the 2008 SCO Forum was held.
Featured speakers over the years have included Douglas Adams, Scott Adams, Dave Barry, Clifford Stoll, John Perry Barlow, Linus Torvalds, and Scott McNealy. Musical entertainment at SCO Forum has included concerts by Jefferson Starship, Tower of Power, Roger McGuinn, Jan & Dean, The Kingsmen, The Surfaris, and Deth Specula.
After the SCO vs IBM legal battle began, SCO Forum presentations have focused on presenting SCO's side. Speakers have included Darl McBride and Rob Enderle. SCO has also refocused the conference on technical presentations.

Famous quotes containing the word forum:
“That age will be rich indeed when those relics which we call Classics, and the still older and more than classic but even less known Scriptures of the nations, shall have still further accumulated, when the Vaticans shall be filled with Vedas and Zendavestas and Bibles, with Homers and Dantes and Shakespeares, and all the centuries to come shall have successively deposited their trophies in the forum of the world. By such a pile we may hope to scale heaven at last.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
