Shameless Plug: IBM Next Generation Linux Event in NYC


If you’re in the NYC area, IBM is hosting a great “Next Generation Linux” event at the Hilton on Church St. It should be a great day of speakers discussing where Linux is heading, what makes Linux unique and “special”, and what workloads are great for running Linux. It’s a packed session from 9-12 (breakfast at 8 if you’re an early riser).

    You going, Mike? That is actually after my last exam, but before I leave town, so it actually works for me. Of course, I may just end up heckling everyone at the desktop-of-the-future panel ;)

    Hrm, I’m not sure they want me there anyway:

    “Attendance is limited to IBM customers and prospects, subject to advanced confirmation from IBM.” Unless I call myself “Press/Analyst”? :)
