Red Hat In Boston, Part 0
I've got plenty of good reasons to be here, not least of which are slated discussions about open source licensing -- in fact, there's a whole conference track specifically labeled "Open Source," which I'll be drinking in. But that's not the only place I'll be; I've got some one-on-one time set up with a couple of folks, and also plan to check out some of the more heavily technical sessions as adjuncts to my existing work. Case in point: the virtualization discussions, which will have a lot for me to take home vis-a-vis a piece I'm currently writing about VM solutions. One of this year's conference tracks that seems to be a strong theme for Linux as a whole is "Beyond The Operating System." Linux is a starting point, not just an endpoint, and once you pick Linux (assuming you do) there's a whole host of other choices that follow from that -- what practices you adopt, what apps you run on top of it, what kind of ground-up modifications you might make.
