LWCE Wrapup

Posted by michael on from the little-fuzzy-robots-with-big-sharp-teeth dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Extremetech.com reports that: 'Computer scientists from think tank SRI will present a novel take on distributed computing at LinuxWorld, all in a search for a little lost penguin.' For more information on Centibots, head over to the Centibots Project homepage." ReadthePaper writes "I just read a great interview with Jon "Maddog" Hall of Linux International." And finally, Hawkxor writes "Sun Microsystems VP Jonathon Schwartz demoed Sun's new desktop-oriented Linux distro 'Mad Hatter' and 3-D Desktop Environment 'Looking Glass' at LinuxWorld. Sounds pretty cool."

  1. My experience by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Some guy from SCO held a gun at my head, and said I had to pay $100 to leave the Linux conference. It felt like robbery, but he said it was just licensing. I'm not sure if I believe that.

  2. Microsoft Booth Fun by mishan · · Score: 5, Funny

    One fun thing that happened at LinuxWorld was this guy who decided to put up a Penguin Computing poster on Microsoft's booth without them knowing it. He walked over the booth with me behind him as camera-man and talked with the lady there for a while and I, myself, didn't even notice that he had put up the poster! See a close-up and the full metal jacket.
