I’m heading out for vacation: back in 2 weeks, have some requests for while I’m out

Tonight I’m heading to Europe where I’ll be hopping around from city to city for the next couple weeks on vacation. So if you see no postings here, I’ve not been kidnapped by Microsoft or some other gang of anti-Linux admins (I narrowly escaped the last attempt).

So I expect the community to do a couple things while I’m out. First, please end this OOXML nonsense and get ISO leadership to step up as a true standards org should. Second, I fully expect Sun and Microsoft to start contributing code and resources into the open Linux community (we welcome you with open arms). Finally, I expect IDC and Gartner to start tracking Linux on non-x86 platforms for once… your customers have no idea just how fast its growing…

So I’ll be back in a couple weeks and will review your progress on these three basic requests ;-)
