Extensive Coverage of Ottawa Linux Symposium 2006

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fries-and-gravy dept.

cdlu writes "LWN and NewsForge both extensively covered the goings-on at this year's OLS. NewsForge: day 1, day 2, day 3, and day 4. LWN (subscription required for most): article 1, article 2, article 3, and article 4." I especially enjoyed the description of reverse engineering a USB device from cdlu's coverage of day 3; one day wireless USB devices will really work with out-of-the-box Linux! Update: 07/25 04:57 GMT by T : Eric Preston, who delivered that talk on reverse engineering USB devices, kindly linked to both his slides and the accompanying screenshots.

    Vancouver? When I was there, a fishing guide described a 3 million dollar house in Vancouver as a "shack".

    Stupidity is like nuclear power, it can be used for good or evil. And you don't want to get any on you.

    Tea looks rather brown to me.

    Actually, tea escapes anyway because the caffeine isn't added. If you can find a heavenly plant that grows fruit containing Mountain Dew as the juice, you'll have solved the problem. I don't know if genetic engineering counts.
