Conferences have a way of tiring one out, and I was tired going in. Didn't take much by way of notes this time, but I can report what I thought were the best two talks of the day for me. In first place was Stafford Masie of Novell South Africa reinforcing that Linux is ready for the mainstream. Stafford's incredibly passionate and enthusiastic, and it really came through. Second place is to my first boss and someone I've worked with since then, Alan Levin of
Radian, making a good argument about the ten ways Open Source builds society.
