Blog på planet?

Hvis du er medlem af Foreningen af danske Ubuntubrugere kan du få din blog (eller en delmængde af dine blog indlæg) på vores planet. Dog med det forbehold at dine indlæg skal handle om it, open source, fri kultur og som minimum en gang imellem være Ubuntu specifikke.

Der er endnu ikke nogen procedure for hvordan man som medlem faktisk får sin blog på planeten, så indtil videre vil jeg opfordre alle medlemmer der mener at deres blog hører til på planeten til at kontakte mig (enten pr. mail soeren.b.c@gmail.com eller fang mig på irc kanalen).

Noget helt andet – hvis du er Ubuntu bruger og på Facebook så er denne gruppe måske for dig… og hvis du regner med at dukke op til Ubuntu Live! så meld dig til på arrangementets event side.

Beer ticket (and more)

Inspirered by Peter Makholm‘s lightning talk on the Open Moko i will start with the ‘conclusion’ and work my way backwards.

I got the last beer ticket!

Fullrate (who happen to be my ISP) sponsored quite a few free beers at the Open Source Days 2008. However there was not enough for everyone and I happened to get the last ticket (after the two persons in front of me had declined it). The tickets were handed out after the keynote by Daniel Klein. (Does anyone know if the keynote or the slides are available on line somewhere?)

Before the keynote I spend most of Saturday either attending lightning talks or sitting at the Ubuntu booth. Work at the booth was quite relaxed. Mostly people just stopped by for some free CDs and to tell how happy they were with Ubuntu. There weren’t really any technical questions. If that can be taken as an expression that Ubuntu just works or if we were just lucky I don’t know. I will leave it up to you to draw conclusions.

Some people from The Software Exchange (a project under the Ministry of Science, technology and Innovation) had a very cosy and inviting booth sporting a roaring fireplace (on a LCD tv), a moose head (with the nickname Elge Sander), comfortable leather chairs and a portrait of the sabdfl him self. Really was a fun setup!




Janus has pictures from Thursday and Friday + Saturday.
Niels took more pictures that will hopefully come on line soon.

Det var friskt!

Der findes ikke dårligt vejr, kun forkert påklædning – men min påklædning var nok ikke helt god til dagens Eremitageløb. Jeg havde heller ikke fået trænet meget op til løbet denne gang… men efter alle undskyldningerne står stadig at jeg klarede mig igennem på 1:02:09 – og det er vel helt ok. Jeg ville selvfølgelig gerne have været under en time, eller endnu bedre været under min tid fra sidste år.

Open Source Days – I got my ticket!

As part of the Danish Team I’m going to the Open Source Days. I will be spending some time Saturday manning the Ubuntu booth but I do hope to get the time to sneak into a few talks. I might also make time to stop by Friday.

Although I have been circling some talks on my program print out, I haven’t decided yet on any must-see talks. The real problem seems to be that if you decide on one talk, you rule out the others happening at the same time – also I should expect to spend some time at the Ubuntu booth.

If you plan to show up at the Open Source Days make sure you stop by the Ubuntu booth at the second floor!

On the cover of the Rolling Stone

Ok, det er ikke Rolling Stone men Christian er blevet interviewet af Ekstra Bladet til deres Kup tillæg. I samme tillæg findes også en artikel om gratis programmer som alternativ til de dyre betalings programmer.

Interviewet er rigtig god, bl.a. er det rart at se at Ubuntu har skaffet liv til en gammel pc, så Christians børn nu har adgang til tre computere.
