August 6 - 8, 2004 - UKUUG Linux Technical Conference. Leeds, England.

> Linux 2004

> A wide cross-section of the Linux community will gather in Leeds this August for the annual UKUUG Linux Technical Conference. It's a great way to broaden your knowledge and keep up-to-date with what's happening in the world of linux. This low-cost event is for anyone with a serious interest in linux including systems administrators, linux professionals, developers and enthusiasts from companies and linux user groups throughout the UK and beyond.

> The conference starts around 9.45am on Friday, 6th August, continues with a full day of presentations on Saturday, 7th August, and finishes about 4.30 p.m. on Sunday, 8th August. Tutorials will be held on Thursday, 5th August.

> Building upon previous years' events, this promises to be a very successful conference. There should be plenty of time for informal discussions. There will be table-top displays on Friday and Saturday, and, new this year, a keysigning session. Places are limited, so early booking is advised. Please recommend the event to your friends and colleagues and download our Conference booklet (PDF).

> The FlightGear Flight Simulator

> FlightGear is a superb open source flight simulation project, offering the pilot's view of the cockpit and of the 3D scenery. The simulator pilot uses joystick, keyboard, yoke, pedals and other input devices to fly any of dozens of realistic aircraft around the world.

> In order to run well on a commodity computer system, XML files determine which software modules are to be used and configure each so they integrate as the desired simulation. Individual files for aircraft, engines, instruments and other common components enables the simulation to reuse these files much like aircraft manufacturers reuse engines and instruments.

> Connections between software modules are resolved to objects using a hierarchical namespace that is common to code and XML. The same namespace is exposed as a network service, enabling external software to monitor and modify the simulator state.

> This talk introduces the scientific and engineering challenges and presents some work currently in progress.
