“I decided to design my own Impress templates and make them available to the public”. Thank you Chih-Hao Tsai! There are some nice ones there.

Funniest thing I’ve heard in ages! I can’t even begin to explain.

“Memory Place is a multimedia encyclopedia for the preservation and presentation of Indigenous knowledge, culture and history.” Wow. Finally a FOSS project committed to Australian Indigenous culture. We’ll be meeting these guys on our roadshow. Yay!

“OS Projects is an ongoing effort to document all available research into open source software, its development, use, communities and the motivations behind it.” – Interesting project!

“Has anyone seen the price come down? Okay, well, you know what that means – steal it…one way or another these mother****ers will get it through their head that they’re ripping people off”. Trent Reznor – It’s _really_ all about the music 🙂

Perhaps my favourite ever “Ask a Ninja”, and it is a spoof done by some Aussies 🙂 Totally hilarious! “Black is in, black is never out. Apart from maybe last Thursday to get some milk”.

“Sydney will be again participating in Software Freedom Day for 2007 with the assistance of the Sydney Linux User Group, Linux Australia and all the wonderful volunteers that put their time and energy in!” – Yay!!

“I have had comments and emails and reports from people all over the world who have been introduced to Free Software through … Software Freedom Day.” Thanks Mark! 🙂 A great interview from Mark Shuttleworth for Software Freedom Day 2007.

“I write this … on my way to Breaza, Romania where I will be giving a presetation about the XO at Forum IT, a technology summer camp.” – All with a Linux Australia shirt 🙂

“Tux Droid is a first generation 2.4 GHz wireless robot specially built for Linux” – Holy crap, I’m totally buying one/some of these! I’ll use them to draw the crowds into events like Software Freedom Day, and to teach kids about programming 🙂 Rock!

This isn’t FOSS, but it is a small Aussie company doing some really interesting stuff. Smack is basically a tool for compressing and managing video for quick upload to sites like YouTube and MySpace. I thought it was worth a pimp. Funny video too 🙂

“HP selling Linux PCs” – Delland HP are both selling Linux PCs now which is all well and good, but when are we going to get them in Australia!!

“Pricing starts at AU$600 with HP citing the rising cost of proprietary solutions as a reason to collaborate with RedHat.” – Yay! Linux desktops in Australia!

“…the most relevant, useful and enterprise-ready open source platforms, components, frameworks and solutions in an easy-to-read overview”. Great document that also goes over how FOSS works, business models and all kinds of other useful reading 🙂

“Hello and welcome to the open source help desk software list.” – Anyone looking for Open Source helpdesk software?

Guides for Ubuntu in schools. Nice work by Adam Barbary.
