LinuxQuestions.org will be in the .Org Village at LWE UK
 

I am happy to announce that LinuxQuestions.org will be in the .Org Village for the upcoming LinuxWorld in London. I am hoping to make the trip myself, but the airfare is extremely expensive at this time, so it may unfortunately not be possible. As I mentioned earlier, all donations and contributing member funds received between now and the expo will go toward our costs. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for your support.

BTW, I'd like to thank Brian and uklinux.net for sponsoring the .Org Village and making our attendance possible.

Just out of curiosity, if you can't make the event Jeremy, who will be representing Linuxquestions.org at LWE UK?

Cheers,

Steve

We have many mods residing in the UK.. ;)

Ah ha, I see!

The mods from the UK will be there too then! :)

Sounds good to me.

Cheers,

Steve

I don't have a full list quite yet, but LQ will be in the .Org whether I make the trip or not. So far David and Chris are in, but I'd not be surprised if the LQ booth is full ;) I'm doing my best to make the trip and should know for sure over the next couple of days.

Bon Voyage!
Remember, Paris is only a few hours away from London by train...
So, make sure you take your credit card, cause VISA is accepted round
the world, and even good for getting cash...

P.S: French chicks are tight.

Hope you'll be able to make the trip. I'm certainly going, it's just down the road... ;)

Just wanted to update everyone on this - I just booked my flight and will be making the trip to the UK. I want to thank the members that have donated so far. We're still not even close to covering the costs associated with the trip though, so any contribution would still be much appreciated. See you in the UK!

cool dude
 

Well, I'm glad that you are going to GB.
I had this cool-ass idea dude:

One could easily create a website called
trueinstitutions.com
that would have a similar format as linuxquestions.org
readers could rant and rave about universities, companies and other
now, I think that Universities would be a top candidate
they could receive grades based on
several factors that influences one's education

so this could end up being like a rival of us news and world report

now, the site could be supported by several software companies
like

Linux & Open source
whoever makes Matlab
Autodesk and others

the first step would be to get lots of traffic...
you guys seem to have an edge on that...
the funding abilities would be endless...

think of all the institutions that want to have a good reputation
and would pay a little $ to look good...

anyway, just an idea, but if anyone wants to really work on it
the idea is there and I don't desire credit for it

George

Jeremy; bon voyage and enjoy!
glad you made it.

Sorry fellas........I missed much of the info.

Actually, Penguin4, it's 6/10/04 to 7/10/04 in GB/London ;)

XavierP; u say (6/10/04 - 7/10/04) & i say (10/6/04-10/7/04) just a matter of difference across sea`s.
day/ mo/yr-- mo/day/yr meridian vs US in your terms you are correct. i concede

Another pointless argument won by me :D heheh

We are, of course, both correct. Depending on where you stand.

Well Jeremy, I am new to this forum and I was recommended to visit you and to look you up by Tom Adelstein the co-writer of the book "Exploring the JDS Linux Desktop".

So I will be at the LinuxExpo too and I will be looking you up.

Kind Regards,

Ricardo W.

F5ck...
 

Who's in London like *right now*?.. :-]

Well I am as I leave in it., Well not exacly in London but inside the M25.

Regards,

Ricardo W.

I was, but now I'm not. I will be tomorrow though :)

gcclinux (and anyone else attending) - see you tomorrow.

--jeremy

Well Jeremy what can I say, it was a great pleasure meeting you yesterday, keep up with the great job and this superb forums.

Kind Regards,

Ricardo W.

gcclinux, was a pleasure here also. Cheers again for the beer.

--jeremy

mmmmm, beeeer :) I also met Jeremy for the first time - also Acid, David_Ross and Finegan. I no longer have to consider stalking them.

Great meeting you all.

oh, cheers for reminding me ray. I too enjoyed meeting david_ross, finegan and jeremy...

My 2 cents ... It was great to meet all you guys iin the flesh, but I feel very strongly that this 'outing' will need to be repeated on at least an annual basis. Take it from me, these guys need far more practice in the fine art of drinking real dark beer. They were soooo slow downing the Guinness that I sobered up sufficiently to drive home!

However, iin their defense, I can categorically state that they know exactly how to dispatch a pizza! I can also confirm that unlike many of the posters here on LQ they can hack into wireless nets within seconds no matter what make or specifications their laptops are.

It sounds like it was a great event -- might there be any pics available once you return? I'd be interested in checking out the scene -- J.W.

yeah, indeed

i am interested also. sound like a great time in UK.
hope someday you guys can come for the LWE in Frankfurt also. :D

great job.

and, happy birthday jeremy!!! ;)

greeting from germany

regards

slackie1000

Was fantastic meeting everyone - thanks to all that attended. I'll hopefully have the couple pictures I took posted to the blog by tomorrow. Cheers.

Ditto -- happy birthday Jeremy. It's a rare event indeed to see Tux *and* a birthday cake. Have fun! -- J.W.

Thanks all.

--jeremy

at any given time i'd radnomly guess that the chances of seeing that are about 1 in 365.25 ;)
