    LinuxWorld Impressions
    by MichaelF on August 23, 2006

    My first impression about LinuxWorld 2006 was – This is BIIIIG! As I walked down the escalator in the Moscone Center in San Francisco I could see the big flashy banners, the props and the mascots from the vendors. It seemed like just another tradeshow.

    Mindedness
    by jcannon on August 14, 2006
