Free and Open Source Software Conference and Expo | Albuquerque, New Mexico 2009

Attendance is mandatory for all LXer personnel!

The Colonel will be on hand to make sure you enjoy the event and conduct yourselves in a manner befitting this website. That is all.

Luckly I am not LXer personnel then. I really can't afford the time off work, the airline ticket, the hotel and ancillary costs right now.

Its in November right?, I should be able to go, if its on a weekend.

Try the green chile at Sadie's. Get a side of sopapillas with honey.

Nov. 14th GOOD GOD SCOTT HAS HIS PICTURE UP ON THAT WEB SITE TOO

The food will be great.

Quoting: Nov. 14th GOOD GOD SCOTT HAS HIS PICTURE UP ON THAT WEB SITE TOO

Everyone, sing along!

He's here, he's there, he's everywhere! So beware!

Hi, I am a dangerous Linux Advocate and even more insidious ..a Journalist..;-)

Bah, journalists are only the third most despised critters on the planet. First comes Lawyers and Advertising Execs ... we can probably add High Finance Bankers too the list too, so make journalist fourth.

Members of Congress tops my list.

And don't forget Used Car Salesdweebs.

Multi-level marketing twits.

I see our hero-in-training lcafiero is also registered.

Azerthoth already got 90%+ of them with his first category above, NoDough. And the non-lawyer ones are probably the only good ones.

Of course, the journalists who are despised are those who pretend to experts on every topic under the sun and completely objective, all the while spewing forth the most inane, biased garbage you could ever find.

Scott knows his field, admits what he doesn't know, and states his bias up front. That almost removes him from the category.

Kind of like as Spider Robinson once said on the difference between a critic and a book reviewer. The former will tell you if its art, the later will tell you if its any good to read.

I blame this largely on their college training.

When you take composition courses, they teach you certain rules. Rules like; Never us words like 'I', 'me', 'my', etc. Never use words like 'thiink', 'believe', 'opinion', etc.

When a journalist follows the rules the passage, "In my opinion the world is flat. That is my belief." --becomes-- "The world is flat."

@jdixon, In a 'Journalistic" sense, that is the one of the highest compliments I have ever received, Thank You.

No one listed "revolutionaries". Or admins. Or Hippies. Or people who drive Fords. Or anyone I don't like even if I don't know why.

All of you coming to the New Mexico Linux Fiesta please wear a smile and have fun! Or there will be another list.
