Last week Shaggy (Tim Bielawa) and I did a presentation on Debian Packaging -- most of the information, including the slide show that we used, can be found at http://csee.wvu.edu/~tbielawa which links directly to my page as well. The slide show was created by Lars Wirzenius.
Completely disconnected, although kind of, I've been reading "Just for Fun", Linus Torvalds - the creator of Linux's autobiography... When Linus is recounting his college life in Finland he mentions having one close friend in collge, who happened to drag Linus to see Richard Stallman (Jesus of the FSF), Lars Wirzenius. Not that seeing Richard Stallman affected Linus that much, he's just another big name in software licensing. (GPL)
So, basically, we used Lars' slide show to teach some students Debian packaging, which is pretty cool. I emailed him a thank you letter for the resource and he actually replied back. Small World.
That's all for now.
