I tried to put it behind a cut, but something has changed in lj since the last time I did that and I couldn't get the display right, so I dropped it for the moment. I'll try again.

Ah, there's this new things with html-editor vs. rich text editor and the appearance and behavior have changed. Got it now.

You just need bigger screens.

1) The Ohio LinuxFest has been trying to get RH to show us some real love for YEARS. Last year (2010) one of our keynotes ("Monty" Montgomery, the creator of Ogg among other fun things) was a RH employee, and it was a struggle to get them to even cover his travel costs. Forget about any sort of sponsorship, booth, or any other kind of actual representation ( ... )

Moose: There's actually been some serious discussion recently on the internal employee general mailing list about increasing Red Hat's support for and representation at conferences. OLF wasn't mentioned specifically, but as a general subject this is on the table, and others have expressed similar frustrations to yours (some of those others being Red Hat employees). For now (I've got a boatload to do before our holiday shutdown, having just been out for 10 days) I'm just going to add this topic to the list I keep at my terminal that I update every couple of days, so things don't get lost from it they just sometimes remain on the list for an absurdly long time. I'll have to think about this -- who to approach and how.

I always enjoy reading your LISA writeups, thanks!

Thanks. I think there's a lot at the conference you would appreciate -- I hope I conveyed this.

You did! I've been thinking for a while that I'd like to go to one someday.
