GU4DEC Live On The Web
Programmers and others interested in the GNOME desktop environment gather annually for an event called GU4DEC, the GNOME Users and Developers European Conference. This year, there's extensive live coverage of GU4DEC (currently in progress, at Trinity College, Dublin) on the web, including a growing online photo album, audio recordings and video streams, and presentation materials. (The schedule is handy if you want to follow along.) I hope there's a similar sort of integrated documenation / dissemination from the upcoming KDE developers' conference at the Czech Republic's Nove Hrady.
I can't believe I'm not there... it sounds awesome. Drink a beer for me.
A conference in Dublin live on the web??? Only if they can provide a virtual Guinness...

The 4 is silent, you see.

WTF is up with this? I thought it was bad enough when people called every machine on their LAN after a Matrix character!
You can bet your ass my kids won't be going to Neo College, Dublin or Morpheus College, Dublin.

Q: What do you call a GNOME in Ireland?
A: A leprechaun.
Methinks that the conference's local profile might benefit from a name change.

What's with that acronym? I could understand GUADEC, or GUDEC, but where does that "4" come from in GU4DEC?
Surely they aren't trying to b3 l33t!
The Czech Republic locale mentioned in the article is at the furthest point from the center. Founded in 810AD by a group of merchants ill-equipped with a sense of direction seeking to sell their wares in Prague, they decided that they had enough already and settled in the first spot they found with water.
