La Salle Debain
Open Source @ Consolidated Braincells Inc.
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.

Thousands of the worlds brightest, most handsome, and fragrant-smelling developers gathered in Bryant Square Park, New York City, for PreventaConf 2008
Project founder Jaldhar H. Vyas gave a stirring keynote covering such interesting and informative topics such as "Is Preventa just a big joke or are you really working on it?" The audience were shocked to learn that he actually is.
Attendees gather for lunch sponsored by Heinz baked beans. Lunch is marred slightly by rain pouring through the roof and an altercation which resulted in the forcible expulsion of a known Ralph Nader sympathizer and his Move On organizer "girlfriend."
Wonderful news! The government of Zimbabwe has offered to sponsor Preventa to the tune of ONE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS. The Preventa project will use that money to cover infrastructure costs and subsidize developer travel expenses. Thanks Zimbabwe!
And finally here is a scene from the lab where developers are busy trying make Preventa a reality. Look forward to some real news soon!
