At the risk of dimming my apparently glowing reputation for unquestionable
accuracy, I'd like to hear from Michael as to whether he said March 19th or
April. I *think* I heard that March would have to be something else for
some reason, but I don't remember the reason, and thus am not sure if the
presentation might have settled onto March 19th after all.
And just to do what you're not supposed to do and start up a different
topic inside another one...
I hear tell that the latest Ubuntu has abandoned using bash as its default
shell in favor of dash, which is lighter and faster, but only supports
POSIX shell commands and thus is not really fully compatible with bash.
Since every Linux (and *BSD I think) I've ever heard of defaults to using
bash as its shell, can someone comment on why Ubuntu would make such a
break, and why I shouldn't see it as yet another reason not to use Ubuntu?
(and let the flying emails begin...)

Outside of this picadillo, it goes without saying that every other word I
wrote was the gods honest truth...(yea, that's it... the truth... :^)
...except the date of Michael Fergerson's presentation...
If Tony is right (and he generally is) then we need a presentation for 19
March. Anybody up for it?
Regards,
Flint
