ALS & LWN Producing Daily Showguide

Posted by Hemos on from the getting-the-coverage dept.

chris writes "The Linux Weekly News, in conjunction with the Atlanta Linux Showcase are producing an onsite, web based daily showguide. It is running on the showfloor. See what is happening at ALS. Roving LWN volunteers will be covering the show and the conference sessions. " Well, the show's just started to get underway, and I'm about to be trampled by attendes flooding through the gates. That's my update.

    Find a story slagging off microsoft and post a 'bill sux' comment instead.

  2. Where's the poll? by nano-second · · Score: 2

    Last year we had a 'Who should go naked at ALS' poll... 'OctobrX' won (staggering majority), with 'NOT Cmdr Taco' a distant second.
    This year I propose we have a who should go clothed to ALS poll. ;-)

    I hope you're not pretending to be evil while secretly being good. That would be dishonest.
  3. Staroffice release by heroine · · Score: 2

    Interesting how StarOffice is getting hyped so much. Their product won't run at all on libc2.1 and it's been over a year since libc2.1 came out. All Sun is doing is building in more support for their own portal yet they abandonned ever migrating the software to libc2.1. Sun may have made some pledges but there's been no evidence of any money being spent on software for over a year. Eventually as more and more people migrate to libc2.1 Sun will get more hits and StarOffice is going to vanish.
