I haven't kept up to date with this list in a while (you know the usual excuse, busy with work and projects and all that) so I missed the announcement. However, I host my project's server at a colo facility next door of the room where Maddog was having the presentation and I happened to be there doing some work in the colo facility, so I dropped by to see what it was all about. I was invited by my colo facility to hear Jon Hall speak but the name didn't register on me. When I sat down and saw Jon in peson I clued in they were talking about Maddog here.
So I didn't go next door expecting to meet a celebrity. Quite the surprise. I don't think I could've been more surprised if Linux himself made an appearance. I even got his autograph ;) Maybe I should start paying more attention to this list. With my luck I'll miss Linus speaking. I already missed him once speaking in Toronto when I lived there because I failed to follow the Toronto LUG list closely...gotto break that habit. Anyways, enough rambling. I'd like to thank VSP, Avnet, HP and the other sponsors (good food btw, who was the caterer again?) for making this happen.
