Final Reminder – LQ Podcasts Have Moved

This is a final reminder that the LQ Podcasts have moved to the LQ Radio site. I've included an audio clip here to catch any of the remaining people using this feed for the LQ Podcasts. A new Podcast has just been posted, so head on over and listen.

Tom and Sam Comment on Sun JDS

Tom Adelstein and Sam Hiser have some harsh words for Sun and JDS. I had the pleasure of meeting both Tom and Sam in Boston at LWE. Sun has had a very up and down relationship with the Open Source community, to say the least. The fact that Tom and Sam were the authors of a JDS book, started JDSHelp, and were previously big Sun supports should hopefully help get Sun's attention on this one though.

Peeking Into Google

An informative article about Google that gives you a small peek into the inner workings. A minimal Red Hat running Google filesystem on a ton of $1,000 PC's. They do state that they have their own kernel patches. The question I have is, do they plan on ever making these available to the general Linux community? That would be nice. If this is a topic that interests you, you may also want to take a look at this. I'm watching it right now…

Alan comments on Linus

Alan Cox gave a few comments about Linus in a talk at FOSDEM. For some reason Slashdot et al seem to be insinuating that there is some kind of feud between the two, but if you actually read the article you'll see there's not. Alan and Linus do have very different styles, they always have. There's nothing wrong with that though, in fact, it's probably a good thing. I guess it's better news if there's some kind of drama involved. On a side note, the article (and in fact any article I click on) on the ZDNet site is completely unreadable in both Mozilla and Firefox. I didn't know there were sites with such poor design methodology left in business. What a joke!

Getting Back on Track

Well, completely ignoring that fact that I was sick for the last month or so finally caught up with me and I've spent the better part of the week being too sick to do anything. What a waste. Feeling slightly better now and it's time to start getting back on track. As mentioned LWE was a great time. I broke down and setup a flickr account and posted the couple of pictures I took. You can view them here. This blog and the LQ podcast should be resuming to their regularly scheduled programing “Real Soon Now”. Thanks.

Back from LinuxWorld

Well, I just got back from LinuxWorld and have to say it was another great trip. A record number of mods turned out and as always it was great to be able to hang out in person for a bit. Mods in attendance were: rshaw, finegan, trickykid, acid_kewpie and XavierP. The feedback we got about LQ from the attendees was extremely positive and more people than ever had either been to the site or heard of it. Very encouraging. We were able to attend a .org party sponsored by Google and I got a chance to chat with Chris DiBona about some possible ways to improve the LQ search. Finally got a chance to catchup with Doc, which was fantastic. I also attended FedoraCon where I got a chance to sit down with Sam who has helped LQ a great deal (and thanks again for the sushi!). ESR was a surprise guest at FUDCon and it was good to finally be able to see him speak in person. All and all a great trip. Now…back to work ;)

Live from LinuxWorld

The first day of LinuxWorld is now winding down. This has been the busiest show for LQ to date. Tons of traffic to the booth and it seems like a majority of people are either members or have at least been to the site. With 5 mods here we're easily able to keep up though. If you're near Boston you still have 2 days to hit the show, so hurry.

The Countdown to LinuxWorld Begins

Being sick has really put me behind in LWE preperation, so today should be fun. I have a good weeks worth of stuff to get done in the next 28 hours, before I step on the plane to Boston. I'm hoping to get a Podcast up tonight also. In addition, you should notice a slightly early LQ Community Bulletin go out tonight. If you'll be in Boston, make sure to stop by the LQ Booth and say hello.
