OSCON - the Wrap-Up
lisah writes "NewsForge's Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier has been reporting from OSCON all week and wrote a great wrap up of the event. He even had the foresight to take along a video camera while rubbing elbows with some of what Brockmeier calls the 'leading minds in open source.' Caught on tape: Kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman, Python creator Guido van Rossum, Jeff Waugh of Canonical, Greg Lund-Chaix of OSL, and OSCAMP 2006 organizer Brandon Sanders."
Sorry, no. I have some additional video interviews that will be up this week for individual stories, but none of Chris or Karl. Note that O'Reilly didn't allow video of the actual sessions (like the executive briefing), or I would have just set the camera up on a tripod for all of the sessions that I attended. I really would have loved to have shared Eben Moglen's keynote from Friday...
Ok, I'm tired of getting modded 0 and 1 this post will be 100% serious for the TFA solely because my jokes weren't funny enough. Here it goes: Useful Info~ If you're interested in getting involved with kernel development please visit: http://kernelnewbies.org/ which is run by Kroah-Hartman. An interview with Guido van Rossum, the creator of Python: http://www.newsforge.com/blob.pl?id=1a2eb8656310db 65fa03461a41a91866
and finally Jeff Waugh, the creator of Ubuntu and the newest edition which will be talked about in this interview: http://www.newsforge.com/blob.pl?id=7e977d3c0eafee a86808086c275e87cf
They allowed it for a couple of the sessions I was in. One of them had an O'Reilly staff member in it, and a guy asked her if he could tape it and she said sure, as long as he didn't interfere with the actual session.
The OSCON 2006 presentation files are available from the second link in the second sentence on the OSCON 2006 page.
