SAN FRANCISCO, April 22, 2009 The Linux Foundation (LF), the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced confirmed keynotes for the years highly anticipated LinuxCon. LinuxCon combines the developer and end user communities to produce more than 75 sessions that address all matters Linux. The event takes place September 21 23, 2009 in Portland, Oregon at the Marriott Downtown Waterfront.

LinuxCon welcomes everyone who has a stake in Linux. Linux users and developers will meet and learn from their peers as well as teach others, such as up-and-coming developers and new Linux users.

LinuxCon will be co-located with the annual Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), which attracts a star-studded pool of technical talent.

Registration is now open for LinuxCon. Early Bird registration costs $299 per person (until June 1, 2009), and Standard registration costs $399 (until August 14, 2009).

Indonesian Slackbasics-i18n Project

This morning, i have added all the skeleton files for Indonesian Slackbasics-i18n project which i copied from the English version. All the files are ready to be translated and by this post, i invite all of Indonesian Slackware users to join this project and finish up this translations so that it could be used by any other Indonesian Slackware users.

For now, my focus is to move translated files from our repository in Slackware.Linux.Or.Id into Google Code. This will take some time, as we didn’t translate the XML files, but we generated the HTML files and we translated the HTML files.

This project are hosted at Google Code and it will use SVN as the collaboration tools. You can see the information on how to obtain the sources here.

Thanks to Marcelo Andrade for inviting me into this project and i hope more translations will come in the future.

Slackbasics-i18n

Marcelo Andrade, one of the Portuguese translator for SlackBasics has offered me to join the Slackbasics-i18n project as Daniel is no longer a Slackware users so he gave the management of SlackBasics.org to Marcelo. This project will host translations for SlackBasics which was originally done by Daniel.

I took the offer and i will handle the Indonesian version. I have given the admin right for now, but i’m a little bit busy this days, so it might take few days to add Indonesian translation to the site and when it’s done, it can be accessed anywhere via SVN access described here.

Also i was given a new mail address at willy@slackbasics.org. Thanks to Marcelo for all his efforts
