LinuxWorldExpo looking for BOF suggestions
The folks over at LinuxWorldExpo sent this over: "LinuxWorld Conference and Expo is now accepting your suggestions for Birds
of a Feather sessions to be held at the show in March. If you have a BOF
that you are interested in running, please contact
Natalie Vercauteren
." Additionally, they also want everyone to know that students who present their IDs at the door are eligible for a 25% discount for the conference program.
Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is "Birds of a feather"?

Well, what is FUD?
hmmmmm....Beeeeeeer
FUD is half the ingredient to make FUDGE. If you
mix FUD and GE and bake at 400C you get FUDGE.
Mmmm, tasty.
oh gawd.. now that we're on the subject of defn' (FUD, BOF, SIG)
what the heck is MEEPT!?
Hmmm. "LinuxWorldExpo looking for BOFH suggestions" I like it!
Maybe we could start by changeing a few users passwords to "knobhead", just for fun!
unfortunately, he WAS known for good poetry; lately his stuff has been pretty lame, sarcastic comments
Does that mean if we want the discount we must register at the door? There's no mention of a student discount on the registration page right now, nor on the booklet they sent.
What is BOFH? And for that matter, IIRC?
right, of course... and I would know who BEEPO is wouldn't I?
BOFH - Bastard Operator From Hell and Acronym Finder
You're getting LinuxWorld confused with Linux Expo.

But the expo. is during the school year and it's half-the-country away. I think the next one should be in the middle of America and over the summer, so there would be less ground to cover to get there, and more students (like myself) would be able to attend. Of course, that's not convenient for everyone... just me...
Posted by oNZeNeMo:
With any large national expo, there is always an argument over where to hold such an event. Having an expo like that travel would reduce the size of it.
It would be neat to have a bunch of smaller local events, but isn't that what user groups are about? As of yet, Milwaukee (my locale) doesn't have any lugs that I am aware of though.

.profile, your .sh_history, your .news,
BOFH stands for "Bastard Operator From Hell".
It's a short story line with passages like:
(l)user : "Sir, Sir, all my files are gone!!"
BOFH : "Okay, what is your loosername?"
(l)user : "jerry"
BOFH : (clickety, click.) "Well, I see your
I don't see whats wrong? All the files are there!"
And the acronym IIRC stands, IIRC,
for "If I Recall Correctly".
how bout a conference in Austin, TX? maybe we could get some of the folks working in the Mexican schools to come and show how they are doing things. we also have IBM, Tivoli, and DejaNews.

I must have missed the announcement saying what happened to everything.slashdot.org. Did it move, did it die? Why? Where?
Please tell me, I thought it was an awesome concept!

BOFH? :^/

That makes it sound like you'll be entered in a contest where it MAY be possible to get a 25% refund?
BTW--does the Student ID card have to be current? I still have mine from undergrad.
