Here are a few pictures from earlier this week taken at CommunityOne and day one of JavaOne. 

Podcasts a comin'

In the next few days I will also be posting a bunch of podcasts I did while in San Francisco including a bunch from key OpenSolaris folks, a post-Distro-smackdown recording,  an interview with the Fedora IcedTea guys and a chat with the JRuby dudes.

 
Mr. Finch exits -- Before either event even began, the city was crawling with Java topped cabs.

CommunityOne and the Launch of OpenSolaris (this time for real)


Marten Mickos, Neelan Choksi and Ian Murdock hold forth on FOSS business models at RedMonkTwo. 

C1 Speakers: Jono Bacon (Ubuntu), Zonker Brockmeier (OpenSUSE), Mako Hill (FSF), Karsten Wade (Fedora)

Sun Software EVP Rich Green and RedMonk pundit Steveo Grady talk seriously under the disco ball at the OpenSolaris launch party. 

JavaOne - DayOne 

The MySQL Community Crew attend their first JavaOne as Sun employees (and find that that means they don't get the free backpack).  L-R: Jay Pipes, Giuseppe Maxia, Lenz Grimmer and Colin Charles.  

The post-keynote deluge. 

 
If you attend JavaOne you've gotta get your picture taken with Duke (there was a huge line).

Pau for now... 

It was announced today that KDE 4.0 will be delayed 2 months in order to get in 2 extra beta releases. This will now push the release date into the holidays. Now I know a lot of you are like “aww shucks, I wanted it sooner” and there are those of you like “ha ha we told you so”. Well for the “aww shucks” crowd, Kubuntu will be releasing the beta packages for Gutsy on the day that the beta is announced, with a Feisty package set right behind it, if not ready on the same day. For the “ha ha we told you so” crowd, ya I guess you did, but this is better not only for the KDE project, but also for the users of KDE 4.

Beta testers are needed for KDE 4, so I highly recommend that when we release the packages into the wild (keep an eye out on kubuntu.org for the news release), you should start playing around with it.

On another note, if you have always wanted to help out with a Free Software Project, here is your chance. KDE is always interested in new developers, documenters, marketers, and more. So with this, I would like to call out to people interested in documenting. As it stands, there are less than 6 of us in KDE who do a majority of the documentation. We have a lot to do for KDE 4 and would love any and all help. If you feel like helping, stop by #kde-docs on Freenode and say hello. If you don’t get a hello back right away, please don’t get discouraged. There are times that #kde-docs looks like a ghost town. If myself, Phil, or Jonathan are around, you will get a response and we can see how you can fit into the project. DocBook/XML of course will be a plus, but it isn’t necessary. It is easy for you to write in plain text, or on a wiki and one of us can do the conversion for you.

Thanks everyone!
