Slashdot Mirror
October is the Most Open (Source) Month (Video)
Do you read OpenSource.com? If you're interested in Linux or Open Source, perhaps you should. Our interview guest today, Rikki Endsley, is an editor and community manager there. She says that while Red Hat is the site's sponsor, they never try to dictate the site's content. And even if you don't want to read another website (although OpenSource.com is a mighty good one), maybe you can make your way to the All Things Open conference October 19 and 20 in Raleigh.
Or you might want to submit an article proposal to OpenSource.com. They don't pay in money, but it's a prestigious site -- and we know professional writers whose work has appeared there, alongside articles written by people with strong programming skills but weak English skills -- who have been helped by Rikki and other site personnel to whip their thoughts into publishable form. All of this (aside from the All Things Open conference) goes on all year long, but Hey! If we're going to have a Most Open Month, it might as well be October, which is arguably one of the 12 most excellent months in the entire Gregorian calendar.

No.

Anyone who believes that deserves what they're fed.
"Awareness Cancer Month" ????????????????

I dunno, Slashdot, the last link to an open-source site you recommended to me was sourceforge.net, and I got a bad case of of herp--er, special offers--from there.
I can't watch the video because it requires this Hook bullshit. But looks like Rikki has a package.
No.
Whatever it is that Slashdot is doing with video URLs, it's dead beyond repair. Not a single one has ever played for me in Firefox, even after enabling all the crappy scripting.
How hard can it be to make your videos playable by everyone without jumping through hoops? Blank screens do nothing for you and just annoy us. The more clever you think you're getting, the more Slashdot dies.
I didn't know it, but after visiting it, I ran into the AsciiDoc article and I'm giving it a try, I guess I'll use it to write my technical documentation since OpenOffice gets on my nerves. I don't know if it's edited by the Spaghetti Monster itself, but hey, it's always good to have a channel to get to know FOSS projects. If you don't like it, don't go there, that's all. Don't be bitter, it's Friday.
Open Source Network Inventory for the masses! Kuwaiba
Another video that has no value as a video in and of itself.
Yet again, slashdot, a lot of us don't feel like spending all that time listening to people having a conversation. If you're going to show video, have it be useful video that conveys useful information that is difficult to present in any other format. A filmed interview doesn't come anywhere near qualifying under that standard. I, and many like me, don't want to sit and listen to people talking back and forth about a topic. We want a real journalist to do real work and condense the results of the interview into a useful article that quickly (and, hopefully, accurately) conveys the information.
I disagree. If it wasn't for Cancer Awareness Month, how would be aware that cancer existed?
The 'open source' that's been getting privatized is by scheming jews. They keep the 'open source' meme going but it's all getting taken and schemed away or controlled by jews. Most the 'tech' bill gates/paul allen/ ellison/jobs/ google/ all racial ashkenazi jews, most hosting companies the domain registrars, Jews. They made up the anti 'racist' bs, the 'hate speech' bs so you can't expose the jews and their lies. All the hosting and 'services' look at their TOS. See jew wikipedia page on 'hate speech' all the bogus 'laws', in some countries including canada if you deny the jew fraud 'holocaust' you actuall go to JAIL and idiots put up with it even though we way outnumber the lying scheming thieving jews.
It was JEWS who it was JEWS who brought the slaves here. 'who brought the slaves to america' -Walter White, archive.org - ignore dbs notes. it's JEWS behind the bogus 'kkk' and fake 'nazi' bs so jews control every side. They made up the 'civil rights' bs so nordic whites would pay for blacks and jews and every immigrant scum while the jew tribe rises over and controls everyone. It's 'white' ashkenazi is bogus 'media' that do the 'white priviledge' bs pretending to stick up for whites while saying 'white privilege' over and over, all to keep the hate going against real whites. They put the 'anti hate' bs in their TOS so you can't put up sites to expose them. Most of the 'jew truther' sites are run by jews, always throwing in 'jesus' bs, or 'khazar' bs or aliens, or doing fake 'whites' websites so dupes keep reading and don't make tribes ourselves. Notice none of the forums allow people to actually meet. The jew 'lead the opposition'. The control every side.
The 'usa' illusion is done. . The jews control it all and dummies let it happen. Open source same thing. Others pay for it with their time and jews steal it. the same for all the power companies, water, the internet, paid by us in 'tax' to jew fraud 'government' or 'city' or 'county' then jews steal it and turn it private. Now they control the food monsanto jew poison, cargill walmart all jews. No one will stop the jew but you. Open source is corrupted. All the 'hacker' attacks, notice 'hackers' always seem to keep going. A few fake 'arrested' but the mass assaults go on. They are jews doing both sides, attacking, and selling you 'protection'. The bogus jew 'government', all the 'tech' companies, all same tribe. They attack, and let scum immigrants leech and scheme, all to bring down what's left of nordic whites. Soon the virus cull. Learn jew symbols jew 'star' 'stars n stripes' 'on-star' - x, 6, A, look at logos. search freemason symbols, it's psy ops, their jew symbols. Jews started and run the masons to keep 'business' dupes under the jew. Except for a very few, very few places they have the net closed off. Try to put up a free speech exposing the jew. Only a few hosts, takes weeks to find, and then you have to be a tech pro to keep from being hacked and ddos by the jews, or they do bogus complaints, or hijack site. There will be no way to communicate soon. Get off your ass and give info to others now while you can. See the person on the video on the front, she's a jew. Look at her face. They keep dupes spinning as if the jew isn't about to do another mass murder. Wake up. Look up. You're being sprayed. Chemtrail virus.

holodomorinfo.com - just see pages, don't waste time on videos, even 'jew truther' sites run by them so you sit 'reading' or 'follow' and don't get off your ass and stop them. Stop 'following'. Copy this for links and to re read. Make your own tribes. No one is going to 'save' you. Time is short. Pass on links/sites to others -
My response to most of the comments on here .. a total fucking embarrassment .. sometimes you would wish that certain immature personalities were not on your side. Rikki Endsley, please do not judge the whole of the Open Source sector by these slashdot commentards. A long time ago slashdot was the goto place for serious technological discussion.
Your distraction bs pretends to answer first post only to distract from mine on the JEW tribe control of everything from the web to 'government' and everything else. Distraction bs. Open source like everything else has been stolen off by the jews, in the case of the web, to control what is communicated so they cover up their history and mass schemes to destroy everyone else while they take the world.
For others see 'jews stealing open source' post above, know who the jews really are, what they've done, how much they control and their plans to exterminate.
Seriously?
