Resources

The September Linux Gazette is out. It contains, among many other interesting articles, Mike Orr's first Linux Humor column. Although the two jokes there have been floating around for a while, it is nice to have them properly recorded for posterity. If you have more material in that vein, consider sending it his way.

Events

The 1999 Pluto Meeting will be September 24-25, in Padova, Italy. Kernel Hacker Andrea Arcangeli will be speaking. Pluto is one of the older Linux user groups, dating back to 1992. Please see the announcement (in both Italian and English) for details.

OSDI 2000, the fourth Symposium on Operating System Design and Implementation, will be held in October of 2000 in San Diego.

Miranda Page Tiemann, daughter of Cygnus founder Michael Tiemann, was born on August 29. Congratulations!
