Projects

Richard Stallman is looking for people to take on GNU encryption code in countries which are not signatories to the "Wassenaar agreement." Please check out his posting and help out if you can.

Resources

The Project Australia Computer Bank is trying to collect old computers, put Linux on them, and pass them on to low-income folks and schools who can use them. We wish them luck! (Found in LinuxToday).

The Linux Kernel Module Programmers Guide is a new addition to the online book collection at the Linux Documentation Project. This guide is currently at version 1.0.

Events

Registration for the LinuxWorld Conference and Expo is now open.

Web sites

The Linux Knowledge Base seeks to archive "all technical Linux information" in one place with a nice search interface. They are currently looking for feedback on what they have so far.

The Samovar Awards page now has the "three most important tech industry events" listed; Linux is one of them.
