better^H^H^H^H^H^H Weirder late than never... well, I thoroughly enjoyed last year's tech talks about kernel 2.6 news and such, but I can't remember how much audience it got. I think a talk about Wine and crossover is quite in place (you are my immidiate pick for it) I can recommend Tomer Perry (of IBM) to talk about using IPMI and other nifty open standards to rapidly build single image compute LOBOS clusters of heterogenous hardware (like mixing the old towers, last years's 1Us and this year's blades) I think we desperately need a talk or even two about SMB backoffice solutions installed and working in Israel, sadly I don't know this market enough to recommend a speaker or even a specific product, though I think Eilon Gushpantz is already speaking there, probably about his own turnkey systems. I'd like to see a talk about this year's new buzzwords for Internet front - Spam filtering, antivirus and IDS - what's the offering from the FOSS world. I'd love also to see a talk about the importance of standard compliant web front-ends, and what important government, banking and other public services handicap Mozilla and Konqui users today, but more immportantly how easy it is to fix. maybe before the above, a hands-on demonstration of how firefox is empowering users and just how much more fantastic it is than alternatives, and why it is important that people encourage and welcome it to the market. (security, privacy, customizations, etc.) and, if she hasn't been booked yet, Shoshana to show and tell about OO. Last but not least, for the keynote I offer Dr. Foo, to tell us from the point of view of an entrapneur and a self made (up) man, how does his company survives against all odds, and even fund a fancy confference. -- Kung Fu fightin' Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
