Linux World Expo wrap-up
Linux World Expo was last week, August 8-11. We had a Mozilla booth and shaver keynoted on the 10th. chofmann also attended the Linux in Government day and Red Hat via blord announced the crypto stuff that was on tap for Firefox/Thunderbird (FIPS 140 re-certification, smart card features, FIPS 201).
Otherwise, not very happy with Linux World Expo. All the .org were up on the second floor away from the sales "droids" as dmose politely called them on the main floor. If the highlight was candy bar give aways from the Red Hat booth...yeah.
Two things I saw that were neat were: Scalix and Zimbra. Both were open source solutions for Groupware that were "ajaxed". Zimbra looked more interesting. Like I said, the next thing coming out of msft, twx, goog, or yhoo is going to be an "ajaxed" calendar even though no one is still using online calendars.
The only other thing I saw that was interesting wasn't related at all to Linux World Expo but was last Thursday after LWE over at OSAF, a Wikipedia talk given by Jimmy Wales. I'll talk about that in the next post.
