OGN7 writeup at the Google OS Blog July 10th, 2008
OGN7 writeup on Google. It has to be pithier next time or they’ll turn it into pirate-speak to spite me.
OpenTech 2008 was a blast July 6th, 2008
I went to OT2008; I came back. I did not die, and nor did I dance. It was great fun, but more details to follow.
OpenTech 2008 this weekend July 1st, 2008
