Editing LinuxTag (section)

==== LinuxTag 2014 ====
Since about 2012, the number of visitors of LinuxTag declined despite the ever increasing use of Open Source Software. This decline in visitor numbers was interpreted as a side effect of the ubiquity of Free Software and Linux, hence not being of extraordinary interest any longer. In addition, for some years, there were many similar regional events, in Germany and other European nations, which have drawn from the concept of LinuxTag.

In order to adapt to the changes, the LinuxTag focused on the core issue of the professional use of Open Source Software, as in 2014. Therefore, LinuxTag started a strategic partnership with the droidcon.<ref>LinuxTag und droidcon: {{cite web|url=http://de.droidcon.com/2014/ |title=Droidcon 2014 |accessdate=2023-09-08 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131206093136/http://de.droidcon.com/2014/ |archivedate=2013-12-06 }}</ref>
