LugRadio – Sunday

Sunday – woke up with a minor hangover, but a shower and breakfast sorted this out. This time I got chance to have some toast and coffee. Got down to the SU in plenty of time.

On sunday I listened to the following talks:

  1. John Leach – Everyone Loves Eric Raymond
    Another one of the talks I’d knew would be quite funny. Pretty informative too
  2. Matthew Garrett – Linux and Laptops
    I have a laptop and linux, so hey might and well listen to this one. Turned out to be one of the funiest talks of the weekend too. By the way don’t buy an Acer……
  3. Richard Moore (IBM) – IBM and Open Source
    We have quite a lot of IBM stuff at work, so I thought I might pop along. It would appear IBM and Microsoft have defiently switched place, IBM is the company that is listening and doing lots of interesting things while Microsoft is the company telling customers what they want and how they should do things.
  4. The Hour of Power — short demos of cool stuf
    Basically interesting stuff to look at.
  5. Mike Hearn – Packaging and Autopackage
    I liked the sound of this to start with, but the more I herd the more I disagreed. Yes we do need to make things easier to install in linux, but not without loosing all the advantages. Nearly all the improvements auto packager offers could easily be implemented in the likes of apt.
  6. The LugRadio team – Thankyou and goodbye

    7. The end of the show. Left wanting more as everything good thing should.

At the end we went back to the hotel, wasted a few hours then went down to the bar. Started outside, but then grew too big and moved inside when the Lug Radio presenters joined the rest of the people at the Quality Chin. A good night of drinking, talking and the odd glass of champagene. Another late night and off to bed tired and drunk again, once the last of the presenters had gone, and nearly everyone else had called it a night.
