Hello all,

Some interesting videos from the Australian Linux Conference 2007.
Take a look at:http://lca2007.linux.org.au/Programm...00c2542a1bb75e

If found the video of "upstart - an event-based init daemon for Linux" and "How the OLPC machine was designed" and http://lca2007.linux.org.au/talk/304 to be very educational.

More news about the OLPC here...

Other news are:

Adobe has readied the FlashPlayer 9 for Linux.

More news about the OLPC here...

Just a quick heads up, the OLPC News site (which I co author) is not official in anyway whatsoever. Most people seem to know this, but since we were recently accused of astroturfing by OLPC themselves, I feel obliged to point this out every now and again.

It is a great excuse for me to stay up to date on ICT4DEV topics though

I look forward to catching the Jim Gettys "Sausage" video at some time, in some shape or form, but streaming is rather difficult with Kenyan ADSL connections

didn't work for me. I pressed the "trust this applet" message and just got a grey box.
