2008 Mozilla Summit Affected By Rock Slide
An anonymous reader writes "The recently concluded 2008 Mozilla Summit, held in Whistler, Canada, was impacted by a rock slide that cut off the main highway between Whistler and Vancouver, where most attendees planned to depart via airplane. In true open-source fashion, summit attendees collaborated on a solution, opening a Bugzilla bug (severity: "blocker"), posting crash dumps, and proposing solutions, including chartering a flight (which would land first in TRUNK, then BRANCH). Eventually, attendees settled on a workaround which seems to have been successful. For next year's summit, organizers might want to consider a location with more redundancy."

Rock Slide, oh no, this news is so important it'll be remembered forever!
Why does Slashdot run stupid shit like this and spam shit from Ronald Pimplebottom but ignores cannabis news?
Too bad Slashdot didn't post the submission I made for this news item:
"Rep. Barney Frank -- shown here at a July 30 press conference with MPP's Rob Kampia -- has introduced a bill to remove federal criminal penalties for small marijuana violations. Take a minute to urge your member of Congress to support this commonsense bill now."
Now that's something worth passing! A lot of geeks smoke cannabis, I'm sure this news item would be interesting to a lot of geeks, but Slashdot passed on the news:

Now this is more interesting and far reaching news than some rock slide or spam article! I urge interested individuals to resubmit this story again and again until it gets posted on the front page of Slashdot.
