I attended the Linux World Expo this year at Moscone in S.F. . There seemed to be fewer vendors then last year, and I didn’t really care to try too hard to get any shwag. I did pick up a demo copy of Astaro Secure Linux V4 which looks like a neat little product I will want to try out at work.
The real disappointment of Linux World this year though was the total lack of open and free wireless access points. I know I wasn’t the only geek searching in vein for an open AP to check my email, or coordinate with other people I knew at the expo. I even would have paid for it if there was good coverage, and I could get some descent bandwidth. It was kind of sad that if I wanted a descent wireless connection I would have had to have gone around the corner to the Starbucks.
