The Call for Papers for LCA 2010 is closing this Friday, the 24th of July. I can't speak for the rest of the committee, of course, but there seems to be a bit of a trend towards more left-field talks this year, which is great. Remember to get your talk in by Friday, and see you in January!

Boycott Novell seem to be the open source (inasmuch as anyone who's never contributed anything beyond a blog can be called part of the open source community) equivalent of people on the street shouting at the sky about the government.

(Waiting for my inbox to fill up with accusations of being a Microsoft and Novell shill and/or Lefty sockpuppet due to using 'open source' instead of 'free software'. Whatever.)

If you're bored to tears, you might want to read some gutter journalism, to the extent a four-page bullying of a college student (plus some bonus guilt by association) can be called 'journalism'. Pretty sad to see that this is apparently the standard of debate these days.

Off to GCDS to join the rest of the happy Collabora massive, hurrah. :)
