Announcements


Resources

Mail-archive.com now hosts archives for over eighty different linux and open source mailing lists. They are interested in feedback and are looking for additional lists that need archives. See their note for more information.

We forgot to mention last week that Linux Gazette #36 is out; check it out on the Linux Gazette site.

Events

The Wizards of OS is a conference to be held in Berlin in July; their goal is to "...take the current debate about Microsoft and Linux as an occasion to examine the meaning of operating systems as the foundation of the contemporary 'information society'. The event will emphasize the ways operating systems function, their relationships to social systems (politics, economics, culture, education, etc.) and the alternatives to MS operating systems." Some information can be had at their web site, but the announcements they sent out are actually more informative. See part one, which describes their motivations and goals, and part two, which describes their agenda.

LinuxCare is running a contest for the best Linux stories, with some cool techno-toys as prizes. Details can be found on their web site.

The Chair of the O'Reilly Linux Conference has put out a call for presenters for the upcoming event, which will be held in August, 1999. Interested presenters have until February 15 to get their submissions in.

The writeup (in French) from the "Autrans 99" roundtable on free software is available (also in English via Babelfish). Discussion ranged over a number of issues, including security and stability, and how free software is an opportunity for Europe. (Found in NNL).

Web sites

Just in case anybody hasn't heard about Linuxberg (the new TUCOWS Linux site), here's their press releaseon the matter.

User Group News

Linux Arverne will be hosting Le Forum at Clermont-Ferrand, France, January 29 and 30. Events include demonstrations of software and a vendor exhibition area.

Job Opportunities

Creative Labs, Inc. has an opening for a full-time, permanent Senior Software Engineer to develop Linux device drivers for the Creative Labs PCI audio product line.

Coastal Enterprises Incorporated is looking for a Linux system admin in Maine.
