OSCON Bound!
In about 20 minutes I leave for the airport, arriving tonight in lovely Portland, OR to attend OSCON. This will be my third appearance there and I look forward to listening, learning, being interviewed and podcasting. In fact it was at last year's OSCON that I kicked off my foray into the wild and wacky world of podcasting. A year later I've got over 70 under my belt and am looking to grab a few more.
What to look for
As I mentioned previously, Dalibor will be giving a talk and as Ken points out, Sun will be having its "coach potato" booth as well as hosting a party Wednesday night. The MySQL branch of Team Sun will, of course, be there in force as Colin cites.
In watching the blog-o-sphere, I see that Zonker of OpenSUSE fame will be there, as will the FSF's Mako, Fedora's Mr. Karsten Wade and a whole slew of Canonical Ubuntuers including SABDFL himself -- to name but a few.
And Don't Forget Wednesday's Party

OpenJDK in OpenSUSE
Earlier this week I posted how OpenJDK was knock, knock, knockin' on Lenny's door. At that time I also mentioned how it was already in Ubuntu and Fedora.
What I failed to mention, however, and was right under my very nose was that fact that OpenJDK had already made it into OpenSUSE 11. Thanks to MySQL Euro-community manager and former SUSE employee Lenz Grimmer, I was englightened:
openSUSE has included the Sun JDK for quite a while already. openJDK has been added to openSUSE 11.0 as well and is part of the default distribution (the "oss" section, while the Sun JDK is in the "non-oss" part).
Here are some links to check out:

- OpenJDK RPM Macros
