When I grow up, I want to take notes as well as Máirín Duffy does. Check out her great writeup of the talks she attended at last week's LinuxCon event in Boston: http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/08/16/mini-education-summit-linuxcon-boston-2010/Aug 11, 2010 GMT
I just stopped by the Intel booth at LinuxCon and got my first hands-on look at the MeeGo platform. While I was there, I also spoke with Intel's Amy Leeland and MeeGo Community Manager Dawn Foster. Amy told me that the call for proposals is open until August 23rd. According to the conference site, event organizers are looking for topics in the area of hardware support; platform development; app development; and MeeGo project, process, and progress. The site also says, "But we also welcome submissions on any other MeeGo related topics. Be creative, the program committee will look at...Aug 06, 2010 GMT
Lisa Hoover wrote a cool piece over on OStatic about an open source project that's working toward bringing back the Holga camera. She writes, "Industrial designer and photographer Saikat Biswas plans to improve on the original Holga by upgrading it to a digital device while still retaining its original charm. His open source project, Holga D, aims to crowdsource the development of a second-generation Holga that uses today's digital technology to pick up where the old design left off."Jul 28, 2010 GMT
This year's Community Leadership Summit seemed to have a lower turn-out and energy level, but that doesn't mean it wasn't a great event. I'm sure other attendees will tell you that they got a lot out of the unconference sessions at CLS, and last year I said the same thing. This year, however, I focused more on the hallway track because CLS is a nice calm before the storm of OSCON. I got to see some familiar faces, such as Google's Cat Allman and Ellen Ko, Prentice Hall's Debra Williams Cauley, and Open Source Bridge's Selena Deckelmann, and I'm fortunate to have made some new friends, such as Jennifer Redman, Sherri Montgomery, and Christie Koehler. At OSCON I saw more familiar faces,...Jul 13, 2010 GMT
Last week I read an article that suggested women are less likely to mentor other women in business. The article made me think about mentoring in Linux and open source. I emailed a few of my friends in open source, both male and female, and asked them: Which mentors/mentorships/programs/events in FLOSS have inspired you? Which ones do you think are great success stories (help inspire/encourage women)? (You can read more about their responses in our September issue of Linux Pro [#118], which goes to the printer today.)In short, I found that organized mentoring in our field is lacking. There are many smaller groups that help people network, such as LinuxChix and Systers.org, but few efforts...Subscribe to our Linux Newsletters
