Regarding Linus at Fermilab Today

Dan Yocum wrote in to let us know what's going on with Linus and Fermi today. As the updates says below, the speech is not open to the public-click below for more information.

As you know, the talk is not open to the general public, otherwise I would have posted the info far and wide. This is at the request of the Comdex officials. It is only by their generosity that Linus and his family have been able to come to the Chicagoland area. They don't want people to go to the Fermi talk and skip his keynote at Comdex. This is a philosophy I must appreciate and respect. Therefore it is only for Fermi staff, family and friends.

For those of you who do not know, Linus' keynote is at 10:30 on Monday morning at Comdex, and is free to those who have registered (which is free if you do it via the net, see the Comdex Site for more details). There will also be a reception and LUG meetings which will be free later in the afternoon.

And as you all know there will be a CLC meeting on Tuesday at 5:30PM in room N133 at McCormick Place, which is open to everyone, i.e., no Comdex pass is necessary to attend. The CLC is the Chicago Linux Consortium and this is our first meeting.

Back to Linus at Fermilab: this remains to be a non-public talk, so don't think that just because you saw it on Slashdot, you're allowed to come to the talk.

I have talked to the AALUG members and Simon has talked to the CLUG people: the same information that was passed along to those people stands today.

Thank you for your support and consideration in this matter, and please re-post this message freely.

Dan "
