LinuxSIG has an IRC Channel!
Correction: It’s freenode.net not .org
There is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) channel created under the Freenode server, irc.freenode.net and the channel name is #linuxsig. Linux Special Interest Group (LinuxSIG) is a special interest group of Linux at Multimedia University Melaka Campus.
IRC details:
Server: irc.freenode.net
Channel: #linuxsig
There’s a HOWTO guide posted in the mailing on how to connect to the channel.
Open Source Alliance Cyberjaya will be using this IRC channel to combine LinuxSIG and OSA-Cyber together.
Ian Murdock joining Sun Microsystems
Quoted from Ian Murdock’s Weblog:
“And, so, I’m excited to announce that, as of today, I’m joining Sun to head up operating system platform strategy. I’m not saying much about what I’ll be doing yet, but you can probably guess from my background and earlier writings that I’ll be advocating that Solaris needs to close the usability gap with Linux to be competitive; that while as I believe Solaris needs to change in some ways, I also believe deeply in the importance of backward compatibility; and that even with Solaris front and center, I’m pretty strongly of the opinion that Linux needs to play a clearer role in the platform strategy.”
