Linux Beer Hike in Slovakia

Posted by timothy on from the staying-in-shape dept.

This year it is in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia, following last years success in County Clare, Ireland, and the 2001 event in Bouillon, Belgium. This year the dates are Saturday, August 9 to Sunday, August 17. There is also registration site and a members mailinglist. I'm driving from England, a 2400 mile round trip!"

  1. 2400 miles? That's nothing! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Try moving to Sweden and you will get used to driving long distances. Guess we have to with only 21,6 people per sq km. (England have 247,4)

  2. This news is great... by jkrise · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What this proves is:
    1. People using Linux make more money, and save more money as well.
    2. I've never heard of a Windows Beer Hike - guess after spending money for Windoze, there's nothing left.
    3. Linux users are sensible - they really meet real people, and do real things - not NetMeetings, Virtual tours ...

    I'm planning to start something similar where I live. More later..

    Likewise for Australia. I don't live there, but I heard these stories when I was visiting.

    Tourists (including Americans) came down for the Olympics. Some where known to ask if they could see Uluru (Ayers Rock) during an afternoon when they had a couple hours free. Olypmics were in Sydney. Uluru is a four hour drive from Alice Springs, in the middle of the country. Ha!

    Guess most people are ignorant of geography in regions not their own.
