Resources

Update to Embedded Linux Guide (LinuxDevices). LinuxDevices.com has updated its Embedded Linux Overview Quick Reference Guide. The guide provides a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for anyone wanting to learn about using Linux in embedded systems and smart devices.

Tip Of The Week: Won't you "join" me?. In the database world, combining two tables based on an attribute common to both of them is called a "join". Linux has a similar concept for matching fields in two files on a common item. Appropriately enough, it uses the "join" command.

Events

Linux 10th anniversary celebration. The "Linux10" Linux 10th anniversary picnic and BBQ will be held on Saturday, August 25 from 11AM to 6PM at Sunnyvale Baylands Park in Sunnyvale, California. Linux10 will gladly link to other Linux 10th anniversary events, so let them know the URLs for those events.

Several Danish LUGs are having anniversary parties as well.

HAL2001 ramping up. The Hackers At Large (HAL) conference has sent out a release describing the ramp-up to this year's event, which begins on the 10th. Speakers will include Emmanuel Goldstein, Phil Zimmermann, and John Gilmore. There's networking to every tent, and they claim to have 1.5 MW of generator power available to keep the laptops going. We know Pentiums run a bit warm, even laptop versions, but hopefully they really meant 1.5 KW.

Caldera Previews Forum 2001. Caldera International Inc. announced keynote speakers for Forum 2001. Speakers from Borland, Compaq, Computer Associates, Intel and Oracle will address Forum participants August 20 - 22, 2001 at the University of California at Santa Cruz.

Canceled Events: Linux Expo UK postponed, Red Hat TechWorld Brussels, ApacheCon Europe 2001. Three European conferences have been canceled or postponed. Registration has been poor for these events. Apparently, the economic downturn is affecting corporate spending and travel budgets.

Linux Expo Birmingham, originally scheduled for September 12 - 13, 2001 in Birmingham, UK has been postponed until next year. No dates have been given as yet.

Red Hat TechWorld conference scheduled for September 17 - 18, 2001 in the (Brussels Expo) Brussels, Belgium has been canceled.

ApacheCon Europe 2001 scheduled for October 15 - 17, 2001 in Dublin, Ireland has also been canceled.
