You're kidding, are you?

  * no road names

  * if you are not from sydney you wouldnt no that line across
that blue stuff is some "famous" piece of metal.
  * from 2500ft onwards all you see is some blue and yellow
areas with a grey line across and a 1 pointing to
the road or some building?
The only reason *I* know from THAT map where the venue
is because I stayed there a number of times.

Having read Stuart's description, I wanted to see this amazing mapping
technology. It's broken on my machine. I get a vertical, crooked red
line that looks like York St. An outline of the harbour and a marker for
the hotel. That's it. Not really spectacular but probably a bug!

Moz 1.4. jvm installed. 

It probably works really well in IE...

How do we get to the RedHat World Tour Sydney event?  
Simply check out the map of where the Sheraton on the Park is!

Visit http://www.redhat.com/worldtour/sydney and 
then click the "Map of Event Location" link.

A detailed, useful, accurate map of how to get to Elizabeth Street
from anywhere in the Sydney CBD will appear. You'll be amazed!

It starts at 1000ft but you can zoom in with the magnifying glass + gif
to 500ft then 250ft to 100ft to 50ft; it's amazing just how detailed
and useful the information is; the folks at whereis.com.au could really
learn from these guys.

Enjoy,
Stuart.

[SLUG] Red Hat world tour coming to Sydney March 22

2004-03-10 Thread Mike MacCana
www.redhat.com.au for the skinny, but here's the short of it:

"Youve heard it said before: Open source is changing the world. On March
15, Red Hat will begin a two-week tour around the globeseven cities, six
countries, four continents. To see just how this change is happening, and
most importantly, meet the people making it happen.
The open source community has changed, too. Today it is a worldwide
assembly of advocates, developers, individual users, corporate
administrators, chief technology officers.
At each event you will hear from organizations deploying Linux, speak with
Red Hat partners building open source solutions for the real world, and
meet users just like yourself. We will also talk about the role we play in
the community and how you can get involved. Then you can tell us what you
think."

Mike (who contracts for Red Hat in Melbourne where we don't yet have an
office, and don't get to feel the World Tour love).
