linux journal readers

Linux Journal: "Readers of my previous posts will know about the bad luck I've had when it comes to getting the screen setup on Linux, particularly with Ubuntu Linux."

I don't like awards. They seem pretty pointless both to give and to get. For that reason, I try not to take part as a judge, either.

But despite my best efforts, I seem to have been “volunteered” for the "2010 Linux New Media Awards", something to do with CeBIT Open Source, without being given much choice in the matter.

So, I've decided to make the best of a bad job by asking Linux Journal readers to help me decide who I should vote for.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about an impending meeting with Microsoft to discuss some of its actions during the standardisation process of OOXML at the ISO.

I asked Linux Journal readers for some help in preparing for this, and you responded with a generosity entirely in keeping with the spirit of free software.

Like many Linux Journal readers, I have been upgrading my Gibbons to Herons recently. And like many readers, I imagine, I have been finding a few little challenges along the way.

That was no surprise, since it's pretty much par for the course when carrying out a major upgrade. But something else did surprise me, although in retrospect I see that it shouldn't have.

A couple weeks back, I headed down to Penguicon 6.0. It's a Linux convention, but also a Science Fiction convention.

Really, it's like a geeky version of, "Hey your chocolate is in my peanut butter." My intention at the time was to record lots and lots of footage, so Linux Journal readers could get a real feel for the con, from the comfort of their local Internet feed.
