LinuxTag: day 1

I just got back from Wiesbaden. Indeed a nice exhibition. But don't ever tell those guys you aren't a coder. Otherwise they will talk to you as if you were 5 years old. Whatever. Today the best presentation was the command-line-marathon with Sven Guckes. This guy got EVERYTHING in command line. Starting from E-Mail, ICQ to WWW and text-editing. For my part, I'll stick to Thunderbird and Opera.

Another great talk was given by credativ GmbH CEO Michael Meskes. He discussed the issue, whether one can make a living from OpenSource by consulting and support. But he also admits that you still have to use proprietary products as well to fully satisfy all customers.

Good night then. I'm dead tired, since I didn't sleep too much on the train. (and almost missed it because of the vanity fair)
