I picked this book up as a door prize at SCALE a couple of weeks ago, and haven't had a chance to read it yet.

One of the presentations at SCALE yesterday was on open source model rocket avionics. The guy licensed his designs under TAPR OHL. Sounds like a good license.

I actually met Hilf at the first annual Southern California Linux Expo, when he was involved with IBM. He was actually resonably involved with my lug (OCLug) and though I don't remember him at meetings (granted I didn't go to very many myself) I do remember seeing him post/reply on the mailing list. There were not a lot of people at the expo and he was one of the few that were actaully there. Kudos to Hilf.

Glenn Flinchbaugh, Director of Wind River's Linux Program, will be speaking at SCALE 3x on the topic of Linux COTS Strategies. At Wind River he is responsible for coordinating product strategy, and engineering for their Linux offerings.

Glenn will discuss how the Linux COTS strategy enables telecom equipment providers to reduce costs and time on platform development and maintenance. He will detail the Linux-based COTS advantages that the end-user telecom firms realize, including greater openness and flexibility in the development tools; the greater range of architectures supported; and the appeal of open-source software availability.

SCALE will be at the LA Convention Center on February 12th and 13th, 2005. For a discounted conference pass use the promo code "NEWSP" or for a free exhibit hall pass use the promo code "FREE"

Daryll Strauss will be presenting on this topic at SCALE 3x. His seminar "Open Source Telephony Using Asterisk and VOIP" will will approach Asterisk and VOIP from the ground up. It starts with an introduction to the technology and terminology used in telephony. It will point out some examples of the technology that can be used. Once the base is established, the talk will move on to describe some typical telephony applications and show how Asterisk and VOIP can be used to solve them.

There will also be a panel on "The Future of VoIP and Open Source". With speakers from Vonage, SIPphone and others.

Maybe it's time to start helping out/using LinuxBIOS. I went to SCALE over the weekend and saw a interesting presentaion on LinuxBIOS, it has lots of benifits over other commercial BIOS's.

I just got back from the Southern California Linux Expo in Los Angeles at the LA Convention Center. They had a seminar with Seth Nickell on "The Unified Linux Desketop" made a valid point. He talked about FreeDesktop.org and what they are doing to move linux to the desktop market.

I happen to own one of those ThinkPads they took a chance on. Well, I am not sure that it is one of the actual ThinkPad 600E notebooks they sold with Red Hat preinstalled, but I did buy it off-lease, and all that was on the HD when I got it was enough of Windows98SE to kick it over into DOS-mode.

However, Linux runs beautifully on it. Knoppix kicked almost everything over but sound, and I liked the results so much I installed Knoppix to the hard drive.

There is nothing to say that IBM will never, ever, support Linux again on their ThinkPads. In fact, seeing as IBM will be at SCALE next Saturday, I expect the topic of IBM support for Linux on ThinkPads will be something I will broach with their reps there.

Something like this, with full Linux support, would kick all manner of butt.

Perhaps IBM should start loading Linux onto their off-lease machines. Start there, and move back into new machines after the momentum has been built up with the refurbs. I'm not an MBA but I think that might be a great way for them to test the waters again.

Why is Sun sponsoring this event while Scott McNealy is telling people not to use Linux and other open source software?

We have some leftover posters from this year's Southern California Linux Expo.

If you'd like one, they're available at a more than reasonable price, just ask.

They are linked off the same page you found the video on . But heres the direct link Slides
