Just checked out merlyn's spreadsheet.

I'm overwhelmed. Too many guests.... too many vested interests.

wow.. interesting thread. medical IT is in a mess. last night I watched with horror a documentary on the UK NHS database project. already £60 billion pounds has been spent on this project, and there is NOTHING to show for it. as for a veterinary database... I could see how some aspects of my openMol...

IIUC Scott Sigler is coming on the show Dec 7th. If you get the chance.. ask him 1. "Infected" may become a film.... who would he cast as Perry Dawsey. 2. Creative commons audio novels. A good way to put bread on the table? How many people donate for their podiobooks.com downloads. 3. What does he t...

Awesome post.
Simply Awesome.

UP THE MP3 QUALITY! before I am accused of being a freedom hater, my perspective is that potential converts to linux are going to get the mp3 version what's an *.ogg?

However, where I am confused, First of all, I think you've gotten a bunch of things mixed up and mangled together. As I admitted, I am confused, but thanks for clarifying a few things for me Tsuroerusu. But.. I still don't get how a developer is supposed to meet his overheads and feed his family. I...

Does the fact that they've been running Firefox for 2 years help you to convince them to use Ubuntu? Speaking personally, as one who has 100% bought into the linux desktop, I can confirm that familiarity with both firefox and thunderbird made moving away from the windows platform easier.

I appreciate suggestions, but I'm not likely to do anything that overlaps the back-catalog. There are too many other new ideas in my queue already. OK, we wouldn't want any repetitive programming on the twit network would we :wink: BTW - I think I've learnt more about Randall Schwartz on this forum...

A few constructive suggestions: And/Or: write Chris Dibona and Maddog and remind them that FLOSS Weekly still isn't weekly You have a very good point here.
