All you have to do is get those smooth top finishes that they have and move it around to whereever it is needed.
A lot nicer for the finshed look than a blotter I would think.
Actually if memory serves me correct he did mention a great appreciation of the label, hence may be why he decided to immortalize them by choosing such an honourable nick.
I myself did not attend OLS. I am jsut getting into the linux scene myself. My boyfriend, on the other hand, did attend. Workplaces are great huh?
The view from here:
The sign-up was a bit rushed. but they seemed to have gotten everybody where they needed to be. It was great, we had a whole bunch of geeks in our house.
I had a nice brief little demonstration on the wireless network cards and what was entailed in getting it to work in the various laptops around the building. It seems that geeks are not the anti-social stereotypes that non-techs give to them. They like to share ideas and concepts. I heard that the earlier talks were sparsely attended as everyone was trying to get their networking up and running.
I did not hear much about the parties, mind you I wasn't expecting many coherent answers anyway 8)
I heard that most of the talks were very informative and cause for some debate at times. The best thing I think that these 'get-togethers' bring about is good mental stimulation and expanding the conciousness.
I heard a few debates on which talks some were going to attend as they wanted to attend a couple at the same time.
By the end of it though it seems that everyone was tired and over-stimulated (is that possible?. Maybe Saturday should have been a couple of discussion rooms and no talks. Give people a chance to wind down their brains.
I went briefly to the table at front with my boyfriend to return his network card, and the set up was very nice and open, well lit, with lots of computers and geeks around.
So all in all it sounded like a great conference and I hope I will be able to attend next years. (maybe throw a rave afterwards? by invite only? geeks only apply?)
