First of all, just wanted to remind everyone that the SCALE 8x talks are available to listen to via mp3 downloads from the SCALE 8x Conference Schedule page:

http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/conference-schedule-feb-19-2010

Make sure to listen to the WIOS talks with Amber Graner; Rikki Kite; Malakai Wade, Mirano Cafiero, & Saskia Wade Etc. Etc. and many of the other talks at SCALE 8x that you may have missed!  I have been enjoying listening to the talks that I went to a second time as well as those I missed :-)

Second, last week was the Google I/O Developers Conference in San Francisco!  Some very important and exciting announcements about Android Frojo and Google TV where made.  Google gave out two Android smart phones, a Verizon Droid and the Sprint HTC Evo, to whoever attended the keynote speeches!  Make sure to watch Day 2 coverage of Google I/O 2010 on TWIT with Leo Laporte:

http://twit.tv/specials20

Third, I just discovered a wonderful new blog:

http://www.womenwithdroids.com/

In the Women With Droids WWD Profiles section Gina Trapani, Google developer and tech-guru, is highlighted!  Here is a wonderful interview with Gina that is linked from the Women With Droids site:

http://androidandme.com/2010/01/news/interviews/celebrity-android-user-gina-trapani/

I listen to the wonderfully talented and geeky Gina Trapani every week with Leo Leporte on the This Week in Google netcast.  A must listen for every Linux Chix:

http://twit.tv/twig

And, of course, last week TWIG also covered Google I/O:

“Ada Lovelace Day is an international day of blogging to celebrate the achievements of women in technology and science.”

I was listening to my favorite Linux podcast streams on my Chumby late last night and whose wonderful voice did I hear, Amber Graner!  Amber, whom of course, we know and love from SCALE and gave a wonderful talk at this years SCALE WIOS etc. was interviewed on FLOSS Weekly in celebration of Ada Lovelace Day!!!!!

FLOSS Weekly 114: Ada Lovelace Day

Hosts: Jono Bacon and Leo Laporte

Ubuntu volunteer, Amber Graner, talks about getting more women involved in Open Source.

FLOSS Weekly is one of my favorite Open Source streams on Leo’s TWIT Netcast Network and on the internet period!  I am so happy that FLOSS Weekly made sure to talk about the achievements of women in technology and science by doing an Ada Lovelace Day celebration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give $6 for 6

The main LinuxChix website is hosted by the fine folk at Oregon State University Open Source Lab (OSUOSL), along with a host (pun intended) of other fine opensource communities like Apache, Debian, Gnome, KDE, and the LinuxFoundation. One of these, or any of the other communities helped out by OSUOSL, should give the encouragement you need to give $6 for 6 in honor of OSUOSL’s 6th year anniversary.

MIT. Unlocking Knowledge, Empowering Minds. Free lecture notes, exams, and videos from MIT OpenCourseWare. MIT Education without the MIT cost. I’ve gone through both the Algorithms and Physics courses and just these two are well worth a small donation.

EFF is the leading civil liberties group defending your rights in the digital world. Protecting our digital rights is an ongoing battle and funds are needed especially when the financial belt feels tightest. If possible consider giving yourself the gift of EFF membership, or at least some EFF swag.
