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."

    I bet more straight geek guys would buy that calendar than girls.

    but it takes a lot of guts (I'll refrain from saying a big set of balls from all the jokes that would lead to) to do that. Especially given the leadership role he has in the open source world. I don't think you'd find many CEO's of major companies willing to humiliate themselves in that way for charity.

  8. we are one of the groups that benefitted! by timelady · · Score: 5, Informative

    On behalf of ITShare/Computerbank Sth Australia, we would like to thank the organisers of LinuxConfAu...We are an Open Source Non Profit group, who take donated hardware, refurbish it, put Linux on, and donate it to low income groups and individuals.

    We received AU$3600 towards a van, and also Linus sweetened the pot by adding the rights to having your name on the next kernel release.....

    People also donated AU$2000+ in cash on the night. Incredible generosity!
