This is one of the biggest Open Source events around. It’s really exciting to be part of this conference.
I plan on talking about how we at Etelos support and advocate open standards, open source developers, and the impact that is having on the industry.

“Etelos demonstrating their Apps on a Plane product with commercial passenger aircraft seating. ”
The marketing team did a very good job setting up the product.

So far, Vimeo looks awesome. Let’s see how far these people will go. I like them because they are much cleaner that YouTube, and they seem to be quality driven. Here is a sample.

I talked about the potential of Adobe Flex before, now the doors are open.
With the Flex SDK released as Open Source get ready to see the Flex OS. The underlaying OS will not matter, Flex will be it. It will take a long time, but people will eventually wake up to it.
Why am I so certain? the market will correct itself. Now Flex is the most appropriate thing to build a cross platform UI. It is as close as possible to the sexiness of OS X (close enough), and fully internet aware.
There is one person that I can think of who should be thanked for this, there maybe more folks but the most visible sane person at Adobe is Duane Nickull.

As promised, our trip to SF and the Web 2.0 Expo was AMAZING!
We had fun, Etelos was the star of the show, it was unbelievable.
Here are some pics to take you on the voyage
On the way to San Francisco
Over the Bay Bridge
Downtown SF, yes that is furniture on the walls of that building.
Etelos is the diamond sponsor, way cool!
A few of people showed up 
about 10,000 to be exact
On their way to the 2nd floor
Did I mention Etelos was the diamond sponsor
The first thing you see when you get in, assuming you can find a ticket

Last week Etelos rocked the planet and introduced Apps On a Plane (here is a video, check it out). We got so much press
Every one we talked to was excited. Imagine, building a desktop application with PHP + a DB + Security
More to come from the Web 2.0 Expo, recovering still.
Maybe someone will create us a very good AOP Icon thx

Back in 2003, I wrote an article for Linux.com (or NewsForge.com, I forgot which, but they are the same outfit anyway). The article was titled, “Is RHN the right choice for your business?”. I basically questioned the sanity of paying 10 times more for a product that essentially was broken.
The article made it to the front page of Google News and many other sites. So at first I was pleased, and on virtually all sites, the comments were supportive and it seemed I hit a nerve.
Then I turned to Linux.com and NewsForge.com’s comments. And I was shocked, the comments were awful. My competence was questioned and I was virtually crucified. No rebuttals to what I was pointing out, just a “well if you don’t like it you are an idiot”-type of comments. That was a turn off.
It was to my delight (sorry ESR) that yesterday I came upon this gem titled “ESR gives up on Fedora”. I thought it was interesting that 4 years later, ESR comes to the same conclusion. But what’s more interesting, are the comments that followed. And some of these bozos didn’t even know who ESR was!
I should mark this post as Humor even though its real, but its just way too funny.
Thank you ESR for speaking up!
