Infoworld on LinuxWorld
Will in Seattle writes "Catch the LinuxWorld hype and try not to gripe about why you aren't there. San Jose, here I come! " Good article stating some of known stuff coming out-and that's some interesting stuff still coming out.
Sheesh, there's some sort of "Giant Linux Expo Of the Century and you really have to be there!" every week.
Poor Billy,
:o)
His sand-built castle is just about to shake well again. I think that he'll get very angry, shoot himself and leave a message: "They're out to get me!!"
Yes thats why I go the other way
Might be nice

err.. a *lot* of people do use open source and linux for cost-related reasons.
either way it's a win-win situation.
I have been creating a diary from when I first started to think of coming over for it. I am writing up each day and have photos from my new digital camera.
You can see it all at http://gomed.rodos.net/trip99/. I am just about to write up todays (Monday - Tutorials), there is a link at the top of the page to each days details.
Interesting thing, when I was taking photos on Sunday of when they were setting up (the area where they are doing keynotes looks cool) I had a few people mention about restrictions on taking photographs. I posted to the Linux World Expo news groups but no one has responed to my query about it yet. I am doing a report for Linux World on the "Linux on Laptops" BOF so I email the editor who I am in contact with, maybe she will know what the policy is.
Raw reporting from the net, putting publishing in the people hands!
Good blurbs on a variety of happenings. The tone isn't exactly respectful, though, peppered as it is with stuff like "Linux fever", "infatuation", and "cobble together". Wait, guys, S/370 support is on the way....
my linuxworld tickets only cover the floor. i hardly have $250 to blow on watching linus give a speech.
i still think that this convention should be open and free for slackers like me to attend for free. *sigh*
it's nice that there are free floor tickets atleast.
Pu-lease folks! San Jose is suburban sprawl incarnate! Bad geeks have to go to San Jose. Good geeks get to stay in San Francisco and eat lots of sushi!

It's getting about time to leave everywhere
"Big Blue also is providing an open platform reference design for OEMs to build PowerPC-based motherboards for Linux."
woo-hoo! Now we'll be able to install LinuxPPC
without paying the MacOS tax. How do the prices
for PPC chips compare to x86 prices? I imagine
the mo-boards will be pricier though...
Check the lwce website.
This is really important! Do it !
Yet again a qoute that clamors on about the cost effectiveness of open source and linux. Thats not why I fight to have open sourced solutions in my work place... its not a a cost issue.
F /...
Its an issue of simply being better. When will the mainstream get this?

A few things of note
I have been going through slashdot withdrawal big time baby! but look what i find on my return...
A knees up with CmdrTaco in San Jose - yippee!
I had to look at this page's source code to find out <LI> usage.
Aren't they cute?
Adding a "I'm on vacation" button to user preferences to prevent slashdot from thinking you don't love it any more and are sick of posting would be cool.
I have moved from QA to Dev (first day y'all!) fulfilling my pathetic Irish desire of becoming a coder in Silicon Valley.
I am seeing Linus in person tommorow, dude SWEEEEET.
Lake Tahoe rocks.
So does my girlfriend who has returned to London :( *sniff*
Whew! Got all that out of my sytem,

Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas.
