About La Salle Debain

This is a weblog I'm keeping about my work on Debian and any other useful Debian related info I come across. It is not meant to compete with other news sources like Debian Weekly News or Debian Planet. Mostly it is just a way for me to classify and remember all the random bits of information that I have floating around me. I thought maybe by using a blog it could be of some use to others too. Btw. "I" refers to Jaldhar H. Vyas, Debian developer for over 8 years. If you want to know more about me, my home page is here.

The name? Debain is a very common misspelling of Debian and la salle de bains means bathroom in French.

If you have a comment to make on something you read here, feel free to write to me at jaldhar@debian.org.

You can get an rss 0.91 feed of the blog here.

That LILUG Talk

As mentioned previously I was invited to talk about Debian at the Long Island Linux User Group.

Much to my embarrassment I had forgotten I had actually spoken at this venue before way back in 2003. But the audience (which of course included many members who had joined since then) were receptive, and asked lots of questions which I like. I did my "Three Pillars of Debian" talk updated for Etch with snazzy new slides — feel free to use them in your own presentations if you like. I was supposed to speak for two hours and ended up speaking for three. So hopefully I managed to impart some useful information and maybe make some new recruits.

I would like to publically thank John Teddy and all the people at LILUG for inviting me.

Also, note for the future: I really ought to learn how to correctly pronounce Hocevar. Sam, you should put up an audio clip somewhere.
