Bradley Kuhn Discusses Innovation, Freedom, and the Law

Wed, 20 Aug 2008 18:50:36 +0000

Bradley Kuhn is not a lawyer. He works at the Software Freedom Law Center. He is fun to watch and listen to, though, because he walks the tightrope between creative, carefree developers and cautious, legally-minded lawyers. Linux.com caught up with Kuhn a few months ago, but, with 30 minutes and a camera, this freedom advocate can outpace the fastest of typists.

Jane Silber runs Canonical while Mark Shuttleworth gallivants (video

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 08:57:37 +0000

Mark Shuttleworth is one of our favorite open source celebrities. He does great things for the community, he's affable, and he promotes not only Ubuntu but GNU/Linux and FOSS in general. And it seems that he's always on the go -- from this conference to that conference to this meeting to that one, anywhere from California to Korea to Spain. And while Canonical CEO Mark tours the world, COO (Chief Operating Officer) Jane Silber makes sure the company runs smoothly, that all the servers stay up, and that releases stay on schedule. She's hiring, too, so you may want to watch this video extra-carefully; it's entirely possible that Jane Silber could be your boss one day...

Using ultra-mobile Linux with a Nokia Internet Tablet

Fri, 09 May 2008 16:43:25 +0000

I am on the go all of the time and sometimes that makes it hard to stay connected. I could carry my laptop with me everywhere but that can be a pain, especially when I am on my bike. To meet the demands of my daily life I have constructed a lightweight, ultra portable, Linux based computing solution. I use a Nokia 770 tethered to a Nokia N75 mobile phone (when WiFi is not available) and a Bluetooth PDA keyboard. This video explains the how and why of the solution.

This video discusses the following:

* Information about the Nokia 770 and it's successors, the Nokia N75 mobile phone, and the Nokia SU-8W keyboard.
* How to tether the 770 to a mobile phone.
* How to configure the 770 to use a Bluetooth keyboard.
* Practical applications for the solution such as playing ogg audio, watching videos, browsing the internet, and accessing servers remotely with SSH.
* The video also covers what sets this solution apart from similar devices such as the Apple iPhone.
