Events

The call for papers for LinuxExpo 99 has gone out. Now's the time to get writing and be part of the program. Here's the notice for those who are interested.

The Red Herring has put out a schedule of events for Comdex. Look for Jon 'Maddog' Hall at a forum on "the business platform of the future" on November 17, at 12:30. James Gosling will also be there.

Web sites

A few people have asked us what has happened to linux.org. We didn't know, but Dave Whitinger of LinuxToday called them up and got the scoop (temporary ISP problems). Read about it over on LinuxToday.

Matthew Tebbens sent us a note indicating that he's made some major changes to his Linux Applications site. It looks very nice. He's also hoping to find a few people interested in helping him add and update information on applications.

User Group News

A new Linux User Group is starting in Slovakia. Juraj Bednar dropped us a note mentioning their plans and their hope to gain a few more members.

Marc Christensen reported back to the caldera-users group about Kurt Wall's presentation on Informix which he gave to the Salt Lake Linux Group. As a result, Kurt has also promised to write up the information he presented and make it available on his web-site.
