[LUAU] Is this thing on?
I guess we've all talked about everything there is to talk about at the conference. :-) Tom
Re: [LUAU] Is this thing on?
I also had a conversation with Robin and Pat of OSTG and they both agree that next year they want to give TPOSSCON alot more lead time so that they can slashdot it in japan and get them involved. The feedback I got from the speakers was quite positive with Robin of OSTG saying this fits nicely into an overall OSTG plan on LUG based mini-conventions around the country. Next year I have to make sure I'm not traveling during the show and then I can dedicate alot more lab resources to this projectbut yeah, we're going to need another scott if he's not here next year /brian chee University of Hawaii ICS Dept Advanced Network Computing Lab 1680 East West Road, POST rm 311 Honolulu, HI 96822 808-956-5797 voice, 877-284-1934 fax - Original Message - From: Matt Darnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LUAU luau@lists.hosef.org Sent: Monday, January 24, 2005 4:22 PM Subject: Re: [LUAU] Is this thing on?

If so, I would suggest some sort of lessons learned meeting to get everyone's input on how to make it even better. I think Scott is moving to the mainland, someone will have to step up. I heard some positive comments about the HP guy that did the keynote thought that people felt that they got their money's worth.

Man, if this is true, then its news to me. I spoke with Scott a couple times at TPOSSCON, and he made statements twice that planning for TPOSSCON 06 would start in February. I heard some positive comments about the HP guy that did the keynote thought that people felt that they got their money's worth. Personally, I thought Bruce Perens could have done more than read from his paper. He seems to enjoy taking credit for all that has happened in open source since 1999, even though he quit OSI in disgust over the plethora of licenses. Maddog Hall was entertaining, and the very voice of reason throughout the conference. The Sun guy was refreshing. He seemed to really grok what needed to happen, and his answers/presentation were not the syrupy marketing message that I anticipated. The GNUmed presentation was... graphic. I'll leave it at that. I was disappointed when Todd Ogasawara responded to my query with a complete rejection of the idea that Hawaii could ever have a high-tech community of any size. I hope he's wrong, for everyone's sake. I enjoyed meeting the other Jim Thompson during Matt Darnell's presentation. John Terpstra was interesting, and provided the ultimate counterpoint in many situations. I learned some stuff. I got to meet some people, both heroes of the revolution, as well as kamaaina. Some of you I knew from the list, but in many cases, you were new. In others, I (finally) got to put a face with a name. I hope, if nothing else, TPOSSCON serves as a catalyst to foster a bit more community around Free and Open Source software in Hawaii. Maybe we could get Stallman or Eben Moglen to Hawaii if we put the Free in there somewhere. PFOSSCON, (Pacific Free and Open Source Software CONference), (pronounced FOSSCON) anyone? Jim

OK, first, what about this overall OSTG plan? It seems weird for an organization which is mostly about jornalism to have a strategy, no? Second, does Oahu/Hawaii/Honolulu have a LUG? Consider, is anything on this page still accurate? http://www.sslug.dk/misc/ely.dkuug.dk/6-1-1-luau.html Still, getting someone from Open PINO here would be cool. Course, there's OROCOS, too. jim

The HOSEF calendar shows 2 locations for the next Talk Shop session on Wed 26 Jan. One is the KD Cafe at Ewa Beach Shopping Center, the other is at Chili's in Kapolei. Time is stated as 6:00PM - 8:30PM for both locations. Which will it be? Will the HOSEF penguin with Karen's aloha shirt and ilima lei be there to mark the location for those who don't recognize Scott? -- Ronald L Fox Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Diagnostic Laboratory Services, Inc.

You must be from the reality-based community! Second, does Oahu/Hawaii/Honolulu have a LUG? Consider, is anything on this page still accurate? http://www.sslug.dk/misc/ely.dkuug.dk/6-1-1-luau.html LUAU has not met for some years (was it '99?) and has only existed as a mailing list in the hands of various kind people. So this page is historically correct, but not of any current use. The Current LUG is HOSEF, although as a non-profit focussed on education, HOSEF does a lot more than many LUGs, and not quite as much of the normal user-orientated LUG things. -- James A.
