Directions to the uea are available from www.uea.ac.uk, and there are mapboards on the campus near the main car park that should get you to the common room easily enough. Post meeting drinks will happen in the Union bar, 5pm - 6pm, altho this is not a hard limit, and may well go on longer.. Rumour is that some beer in the Union is current £1 a pint... not that that should effect whether you turn up or not... ;-) Label your kit, if you're bringing it along, and post here to let us know what to look forward too... I will almost certainally be there, hangover from saturday permitting, and will be bringing my Pico Laptop, running debian unstable, and possibly my other Linux machine, if i've failed to get adsl going on it by then. It'll be my first meeting, and hey, this is my first meeting announcment... firsts all around.. Hope to see you there... J. PS.. please post this to other relevent places, if you can think of any. ------- End of Forwarded Message

MobiliX response online
by MJ Ray 17 Feb '02

------- Forwarded Message Reply-To: Werner Heuser <wehe(a)mobilix.org> To: list-obelix-en(a)snafu.de Subject: Obelix versus MobiliX: Legal Response Online Now Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2002 13:25:38 -0100 In the conflict between Obelix and MobiliX, the legal response of the lawyers Jaschinski Biere Brexl (JBB) is online now. In November 2001 Werner Heuser, owner of the Opens Source project MobiliX - UniX on Mobile Computers (http://mobilix.org) was charged by "Les Editions Albert Rene", which is owner of the trademark "Obelix". The charge aimes on a deletion of the trademark "MobiliX" and a compensation fee. Also every commercial use of the name "MobiliX" will be forbidden. Every offense can be charged with up to 250.000 Euro or as a substitute with six months prison. Werner Heuser has taken the lawyers Jaschinski Biere Brexl (JBB) (http://www.jbb-berlin.de) to represent him in court. His lawyers had to work out the legal response until January 21st 2002. The legal response (PDF, 22 pages in German) is online (http://mobilix.org/mobilix_asterix.html) now. The document describes the origin of the names Obelix (from "obelisk") and MobiliX (from "mobil" and "UniX"). Many wellknown names are used to show how widespread the suffix "ix" is in the IT business, e.g. often UniX derivates are named by this scheme. This is followed by an analysis of the pronounciation and spelling of the words Obelix and MobiliX, and whether they can be mistaken from members of the IT business or not. As a conclusion the charge is considered void. Since the suffix "ix" is widespread in the IT community, it seems possible that even more projects will be charged. This case is very important for the Free Software community, too. Therefore the lawyers Jaschinski Biere Brexl (JBB) have agreed to make the legal response public. The MobiliX (http://mobilix.org) site is dedicated to Mobile UniX systems. It leads you to a lot of useful hands-on information about installing and running Linux, BSD and other UniXes on laptops, PDAs and other mobile computer devices. Werner Heuser offers his Linux-HOWTOs and his book "Linux on the Road" there. Besides his work for MobiliX he is a Debian GNU/Linux maintainer. - -- |=| Werner Heuser = Keplerstr. 11A = D-10589 Berlin = Germany |=| <wehe_AT_mobilix.org> T. 0049 - (0)30 - 349 53 86 |=| http://MobiliX.org UniX on Mobile Systems: HOWTOs,Software |=| http://Xtops.DE Laptops+PDAs pre-installed with UniX |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion(a)fsfeurope.org http://mailman.fsfeurope.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discussion ------- End of Forwarded Message -- MJR

Alan Cox talking in Swansea

Possibly of interest to someone on this side of the country. Replies not to me, please. ;-) ------- Forwarded Message Subject: [uklugs] Linux Public Lecture in Swansea Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2002 11:30:33 -0000 Reply-To: "Margaret Day" <m.day(a)swan.ac.uk> Hi I work in the Dept of Computer Science at University of Wales Swansea. On 5 March 2002 we're hosting a public lecture, sponsored by BT Ignite, where Alan Cox of Red Hat will be presenting a talk entitled "Doing things differently - Linux past, present and future". It will be a view of the history of the Linux operating system, and the free software movement behind it. An assesment of where Linux is now, and a look into the future needs and challenges of the operating system. As a 'public' lecture we'd like to advertise this to as wide a group as possible and I was wondering if we could use your distribution lists? I saw from your website that there are 4 contacts within Wales that I guess I could forward the info to, but I'd be grateful for your advice as to the best way to get this info out to any interested parties. Look forward to hearing from you Kind regards Margaret Day IT Network Wales Dept of Computer Science University of Wales Swansea 01792 295881 ------- End of Forwarded Message -- MJR
