|
|
Marius is 19 years old, and a student in the first year at Politehnica
|
|
Bucharest, Romania. Besides Linux, he also loves music (from rock to dance),
|
|
dancing, having fun, spending time with friends. He is interested also in
|
|
science in general (and that quantum spooky connection :) and says, <EM>"I like
|
|
cooking (okay, maybe I don't like it a lot, but I have to cook because I live
|
|
alone while I'm at studies in Bucharest. Poor me :-) poor neighbours :-)"</EM>

I am a new linux enthusiast who has been following the trend for over a
|
|
year now. I have successfully installed Debian and participate in
|
|
helping bring Linux to more people. I have been working with computers
|
|
for seven years on my own, learning as much as possible. I currently am
|
|
looking for a sales position within the Linux community. Talks are under
|
|
way with VALinux; my dream company. I have been a volunteer for both
|
|
Debian and LPI.

<H4><IMG ALIGN=BOTTOM ALT="" SRC="../gx/note.gif">JC Pollman and Bill Mote</H4>
|
|
JC has been playing with Linux since kernel 1.0.59. He spend way too much
|
|
time at the keyboard and even let his day job - the military - interfere once in
|
|
a while. His biggest concern about linux is the lack of documentation for the
|
|
intermediate user. There is already too much beginner's stuff, and the
|
|
professional material is often beyond the new enthusiast.
|
|
|
|
<P> Bill is the Technical Support Services manager for a multi-billion dollar
|
|
publishing company and is responsible for providing 1st and 2nd level
|
|
support services to their 500+ road-warrior sales force as well as their
|
|
3,500 workstation and laptop users. He was introduced to Linux by a good
|
|
friend in 1996 and thought Slackware was the end-all-be-all of the OS world
|
|
... until he found Mandrake in early 1999. Since then he's used his
|
|
documentation skills to help those new to Linux find their way.

|
|
<P> In late January, I went to the 8th International
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.python.org">Python</A> conference in
|
|
Arlington, VA, and attended the
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.zope.org">Zope</A> track. I have been a Python enthusiast
|
|
for several years, and have recently gotten excited about Zope, which is a
|
|
web application server. I came back with a year's worth of projects in my
|
|
head, and zopified my personal sites (<A
|
|
HREF="http://mso.oz.net">mso.oz.net</A>) last weekend. Now comes the harder
|
|
part: actually writing applications for this platform, especially since parts
|
|
of Zope are still in an alpha stage and are changing rapidly.
|
|
|
|
<P> Eventually, the <EM>Gazette</EM> itself may migrate to a more interactive
|
|
environment like Zope. However, because the <EM>Gazette's</EM> unique
|
|
distribution network depends on it being implemented in simple HTML which can
|
|
be viewed anywhere (including off-line), we will think long and hard before
|
|
making any major changes which may limit its accessibility.
|
|
|
|
<P> The folks who brought you the WTO protests are at it again with a plan to
|
|
<STRONG>Shut Down Microsoft</STRONG>. There will be a street theater action
|
|
February 7th at 7:15am. (Ugh, so early in the morning.) If you will be in the
|
|
Seattle area and want more information on this, contact Direct Action Network
|
|
at 206-632-1656 or 206-632-9482. I will try to have a report in next month's
|
|
<EM>Gazette</EM> on how it turns out. (Does this remind anybody of the
|
|
<A HREF="http://www.svlug.org/events/tea-party-199811.shtml">
|
|
Silicon Valley Tea Party</A>, when Linux enthusiasts crashed the
|
|
housewarming party for a Microsoft developer support center in Palo Alto, CA,
|
|
in 1998? Of course, the upcoming event will not be focused specifically on
|
|
Linux.)
|
|
|
|
<P> Thanks to all our authors, not just the ones above, but also those who wrote
|
|
giving us their tips and tricks and making suggestions. Thanks also to our
|

new mirror sites.

Have fun!
