Great episode, one of my favorites so far.
Are you going to be at LinuxWorld all 4 days?
Yes, we will both be there all 4 days including Monday for the tutorials. We would love to meet any of our listeners that will be attending so let us know if you are going. Thanks for the comment and thanks for listening!
I’ll be there on the 7th. Maybe the sixth, but probably just the 7th.
Cool. Hope to see you there! We’ll try to have more information about meeting up and such just prior to LinuxWorld.
