Desktop Linux

Tomorrow, Jake and I are headed down south to the Desktop Linux Summit. Per the article posted by Desktop Linux, I'm going to be doing a tongue-in-cheek presentation as the anchor:

The 2.5-day Desktop Summit takes place in San Diego, this week. The event will feature informative keynote talks and panel discussions, free giveaways, a product showcase, and a conference-end roast of 2004 Linux and open source headlines by radio host Chris Pirillo, according to event organizers.

I whipped up a rather humorous PowerPoint presentation, but I'm going to be running it on Windows. Unless, of course, I fire up Knoppix and try it from there. I might even come home with a new OS on that laptop – which would be odd, because this is about Desktop Linux.

For one admission fee, attendees will not only interact with open source industry leaders and start-ups participating in the Summit, but will also attend events to learn more about Mozilla, the Firefox Internet browser, and OpenOffice.org, creator of the open-source office productivity suite. Lotus 1-2-3 designer and Open Source Applications Foundation Chair Mitchell Kapor is slated to give the keynote address.

I'll be there. Anybody else? Bueller… Bueller…?
