[SLUG] Fosdem

2010-02-15 Thread Richard Ibbotson
Hi

In the past we have had visits to Fosdem by some people from 
Australia.  This year the streets of Brussels were empty of our 
Australian friends.   With this in mind you might like to have a look 
here...

http://video.fosdem.org/2010/

Probably the best of the whole bunch was Andrew Tanenbaum talking 
about Minix 3 and Richard Clayton talking about Evil on the 
Internet.   You shouldn't miss that one.  You can get hold of the 
slides here...

Wasn't he the one that did the talk in LinuxConf 2006?  I remember a
rant about kernel programming that pretty much fell flat to a linux
audience.

If I remember rightly that is correct.  The crowd loved it last time.  
This time it drew some loud applause as well.  Can't keep a good man 
down ?

Actually it was a minix.conf.au hat we had custom made. :-)
