Miscellaneous LinuxWorld Tidbits

Posted by michael on from the peace-love-restitution dept.

The excitement of the LinuxWorld Expo simply cannot be expressed in words. We already mentioned that Mandrake and HP are working on Linux on the desktop (warning, manager-speak). The Open Source Development Lab is expanding its focus through the creation of a working group on "carrier grade Linux" for the telecommunications market. CNET has several LinuxWorld stories up. And let's throw in one more, only tangentially related: IBM has settled with San Francisco for spray-painting their sidewalks.

    Damn... i didn't know about this... i wish they did this right in front of my house... you can be damn sure about me guarding it against city cleaners with my bare hands.....

    To think of it that this is coming from a respectable company as IBM.. Thumbs up all the way for them...

      I can't wait for their next campaign, arming their employees with sticks to write "IBM Luvs LINUX" in every bit of wet concrete they see.

    Anyone nabbed a spray-painted piece of history? Talk about your conversation piece? It would be cool to have a chunk of concrete in the computer room. I haven't seen anything on e-bay but give it time...

    So instead, Michael will be expressing it in mime.
