rants

I thought it was hilarious: in the end we didn’t meet in SL, we chatted on IRC 🙂 Much better, because my little laptop is really not powerful enough to run the GNU/Linux client. I don’t know who’s to blame: the video card, the OpenGL drivers or the SL client, or all of them.

I met with long time friends Valerio, Paci and Xdatap1 on SLIRC to chat about Second Life.  All of them would like to do something in SL for and with Free Software. At the moment I don’t think that FSFE should invest time or energy in SL, for various reasons. But I can always change my mind. What do you think?

A few Italian free software supporters invited me to a virtual meeting in Second Life.  Tonight I’ll be online to chat with them.  Join in, if you want.  My SL identity is Stefano Brennon, I don’t own property so I’ll probably hang around the IBM facilities.

For those considering going to Fellowship meeting in Cosenza, the closest airport is Lamezia Terme.  From there we can arrange a pickup by car (it’s a 40 minutes ride to from the airport to Cosenza).  I’m thinking of renting a car at the airport and to arrive earlier to appreciate the seaside 🙂  Let me know if you want to meet me there.

PS: my left harm is starting to hurt when I type. I hope it’s not RSI.

Keeping it only black was not an option for me. I like green: it makes me happy 🙂  Here is my scooter, pimped simply with a plussy sticker. 

Do you want one of these stickers? Come to Cosenza and you’ll get one.

Tra l’11 e il 13 Maggio 2007 si terrà a Cosenza la Conferenza Italiana sul Software Libero, un evento che ospiterà l’edizione 2007 della LUGConf italiana e un incontro dei Fellow italiani (nella mattinata di domenica 13).

Come per l’incontro di Bolzano i temi sono liberi e i dibattiti possibili sono tanti, da GPLv3 all’evoluzione dei DRM, oppure progetti propri della Fellowship come Advocacy. Fate sapere la vostra opinione sul forum oppure via email al sottoscritto.

Un riassunto delle proposte verrà aggiornato periodicamente sulla pagina del meeting.
