    I think you're being a little pessimistic regarding people's view of Linux fans. I believe LugRadio presents a view of FOSS that is rarely seen: i.e. normal people enjoying something they passionately believe in. It's blind zealotry that gives Linux a bad name, not having a laugh.

    I might fall out of bed and roll into the city centre to say hi ;-)

    It's pretty impressive that this thing has come together at all considering it has no corporate sponsorship and is being done for the fun of the event.

    Imagine that no corporate interest just a bunch of hackers having fun. It's pre-takeover blues /. again.
