Lovely Susana Baca

Above is a very grainy and perhaps indecipherable picture of Susana Baca in concert. Man, what a graceful performer with commanding vocals.

The Ubucon Blog

And now there's a blog! You can't have a conference without a blog ;)

Announcing: The Ubucon

I'm putting together a conference - The Ubucon (rhymes with Rubicon) - for Ubuntu users, developers and admins. Many many thanks to Google for letting me use their space. A huge debt of gratitude goes to Chris and Leslie over there for helping with this.

The Ubucon will be held August 18 and 19, the days immediately following LinuxWorld San Francisco.

Here's the conference wiki. As you can see, there's not much there yet. With your help, however, that will change RSN.

There is a mailing list - theubucon AT linuxpip, and you can subscribe at theubucon-request or go to the mailing list info page.

I'd love to get your feedback and ideas about what the conference should be.

Thanks!
