Linux Conf 2004 Gives in Many Ways

Posted by michael on from the avert-thine-eyes dept.

Noddy writes "The Australian Linux Conf 2004 wrapped up today, with a few geek notables being dunked for their contributions.. to charity that is. Cystic Fibrosis benefitted from the likes of Andrew Tridgell, Damien Conway and Linus Torvalds stripping down, Linus getting into his speedos, and all getting wet. Video of the Linus dunking and a few images are available (thanks Internode). Bet the girls can't wait for the 'Geek Boys of Open Source' pinup calendar after seeing these shots of Linus. Great work guys! More conf wrap-up info also at ZDNet."

    There's this cool new feature on Macs and Windows called Copy+Paste. Maybe someone will port it to Linux.

    ...avoid making fun of people who had the guts to sit nearly naked in front of hundreds of other guys..

    we've seen the picture: linus has guts) So we we know linus has guts - in fact he has several of them. He really needs to go to this place: gym

    sure I cant hack a kernel but at least I have a flat stomach.

    Linus for Gods sake leave America: come back to Europe where we dont serve food by the trough.
