Well there was the bottom part of the message holding the explanation itself:
Facts (below)
As for the facts:
it was not Master but ALT Linux Compact 2.3 (page|ISO|ML)
it was Third Ukrainian Free Software Developers' and Users' Conference
it was sponsored by IBM, Novell and EMT (yeah, I work for...us; another funny thing is that Microsoft proposed to sponsor the conference too but we decided to politely decline the generous offer)
it is the head of Microsoft Ukraine, Mr. Valery Lanovenko
it is the Tablet PC which failed to feed the projector on the secondary head properly to blame
and indeed it's OpenOffice.org on our Linux/ThinkPad running their PowerPoint presentation;-)
IMG_0395 has Mr. Lanovenko's personal comment -- he tries to make an impression that it was PDF (we as the conference staff recommended to keep those at hand) but all of us know OOo doesn't display PDFs;-)
You bet there was some debate afterwards but no tomatoes flying (which was quite the fear of Mr. Lanovenko's coworkers):-)Shameless plugs
BTW, there's going to be 4th such conference this autumn (first weekend of October), you're welcome! (details at the conference site, see above)
Thanks for the direct link, cache lags indeed as I can see; there's a story page there too (thrown together after the first wave of pre-slashdot effect hit our gallery; and yes, the fact is just as this, there is one more independent photo link there).
The bottleneck ATM is the shaper, we enjoy sponsored colocation and hardware (by WNet ISP) and current outbound traffic is around 512Kbps.
Otherwise, our ALT Linux server that's serving you now is perfectly OK, given it's 4-way Xeon with a meg cache per CPU with a gig of RAM and SmartArray. So load average is more like: 0.19, 0.14, 0.12.
Here's a postcard from Apache (no nginx on top of it even;-) -- 167 requests currently being processed, 8 idle servers (I've upped MaxClients from 150 to 250, hope it's enough for some time -- seen 180+ max today).
PS: we'll be doing 4th conference like that this October, feel free to contact me during next weeks if you're eager to travel to Kiev and roll a speech on Free Software!
