geertjan — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:42:06 +0000

The JavaOne presentations from years gone by are all available on-line in various forms.

FISL 2009: Day 3... Cybercrime law is equivalent to censorship

geertjan — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:53:26 +0000

One of the unquestionable highlights of Day 3 at FISL, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, was President Lula (i.e., the president of Brazil) dropping by. (Read about Day 1 here and Day 2 here.)

FISL 2009: Day 2... The Internet will not listen to reason

geertjan — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 06:58:16 +0000

Day 2 of FISL was, if anything, even more eclectic than Day 1. Again, wandering around the booth area and browsing through the program, it was driven home to me that this conference is all about free software, i.e., ANY free software, not necessarily programming related at all. Hence, as mentioned below, I attended a session on using video to communicate about open source software.

FISL 2009: Day 1... Open source as an attribute instead of an entity

geertjan — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 03:30:07 +0000

The 10th edition of FISL, the "Forum Internacional Software Livre" started today in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Attracting attendees from all over South America, FISL is now at a point where it draws somewhere between 6000 and 8000 attendees every year. To me, in terms of look and feel, it seems to be seriously competing with JavaOne itself.

Kenai is the name of a city in Alaska that uses the motto "A village with a past, a city with a future."
