Announcements


Resources

LinuxToday has added a new jobs page to connect people with Linux skills and employers. See their announcement for details.

Steve Rader has made available the Linux disk mirroring cookbook. Therein you will find step-by-step instructions for setting up disk mirroring with raidtools 0.42. Never let a disk failure stop you again!

Events

Here is a transcript of the chat session with Linus Torvalds which appeared on MSNBC Tuesday. Note that Linus was not actually typing, he was speaking over a telephone to a transcriber. Evidently not everything got through exactly as he said it.

If you are wanting to make a submission to the O'Reilly Linux Conference (August 21-24, Monterey, CA), you're running out of time. This reminder just went out; the deadline is next Monday, February 15. It looks like a great gathering, here's your chance to be a part of it.

Linux Expo has announcedthat the technical keynote speaker for the conference (in May) will be Jim Gettys, currently of Compaq. This should be an interesting talk; Jim has a long history with free software, including being a driving force behind the X window system in its early days.

The LinuxWorld folks are looking for open source projects that will be at their conference to feature in their "Tapping the Source" supplement. See their announcement for details.

The Bazaar has announced a partner and a change of date. The conference - oriented around free software development - was originally scheduled for March in New York. The new date is likely to be in July. See this Slashdot topic for a bit more information.

Web sites

A new site for Linux on the PowerPC has been set up. Content currently is in German, but they intend to add English language stuff as well.

OverNews is a new Linux news site in French.

User Group News

A new user group is forming in Colorado Springs, CO. The Pikes Peak LUG will have its first meeting on March 5. See the announcement for details.

Yet another Linux Tea Party will be held by the Southern New Mexico LUG on February 18. See their web site for details.
