The Fate of the Linux Ecosystem

I am deeply dismayed at the rumours I heard from the Linux Plumbers Conference. I heard that Matthew Garrett MANHANDLED Linus Torvalds and KICKED HIM OUT OF A SESSION!

Poor Linus. =(

Argh. Please tell me it was a publicity stunt or a joke.

It's a joke. My husband was standing next to Linus and enjoying a lovely conversation about how the hot water tasted like coffee and Matthew went over to tell them to be quiet (there was a session going on at the time).

Whew. Considering some of the social ineptitude of some linux geeks, though...

Not at Linux Plumbers Conference - as I understand, MOST people who were there were actually curteous and well socially adjusted, *coughcough*Greg Kroah-Hartman*coughcough* aside.

Yeah, there was no kicking out. I had to drag him out in a headlock. Damned Finns.

I understand that's the correct way to herd penguins.

Note: Possible lie

Hmmm. Possibly! =D

Mornin'!
