Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
Chandrasekher is scheduled to be joined on stage during his speech by Mark Shuttleworth, the founder and CEO of Canonical,

by expanding the number of people that use Linux beyond technology enthusiasts to the mainstream, and treading into territory
coveted by Microsoft.
