LCA2008: Hacking on lguest (2)
This is a video from the "hacking on lguest" tutorial at linux.conf.au 2008 in Melbourne.
Lguest is a new and very light virtualization technology created by Rusty Russels.
It is very fast and basically allows to run "linux on linux". The video shows the lguest-host Qemu-image which was provided by the lguest-tutorial at linux.conf.au 2008. After the lguest-host is booted up a lguest virtual-machine is started by a simple user-space launcher. It also shows the simple hypercall printing out "Hey Ho Lguest" which was implemented during the tutorial.
Cool stuff by Rusty !

LCA2008: Talks finished, Google-party and Open-day
After the last presentations and talks at Linux.conf.au 2008 everybody was heading over to the big party sponsored by Google. Nice !
... sadly we noticed that somehow the catering service stopped giving out beer at 8.30 p.m ! What the h... ??
Sorry, but no party without beer so we grouped up with some people and found a nice pub in Brunswick. That was fun and we had a great night.
But LCA 2008 is NOT over yet but opening its doors to the public today. Lots of interesting projects will be presented and everybody is invited to join the "freedom lovers".

OLPC mobile phone
At Linux.conf.au 2008 a bunch of OLPC's were given out as present. The only premise was to either do something cool with it or to pass it over to somebody else who will do something cool with it. Nice !
... some of the guys actually seemed to "misuse" the OLPC's as mobile phones. Strange evolution, mobile phones actually seemed to get bigger and bigger.
