Android and the Linux Kernel Community 354

An anonymous reader links to Greg Kroah-Hartman's explanation of a rift (hopefully mendable) in the development culture of Google's Linux-based Android OS and the Linux kernel itself. "As the Android kernel code is now gone from the Linux kernel, as of the 2.6.33 kernel release, I'm starting to get a lot of questions about what happened, and what to do next with regards to Android.

Journal Journal: Best Project Name: Win a Poken

Alright, I'll try journalling about this article I wrote. It's basically a contest where I'm asking people to give me suggestions for a project name. I'm not sure whether the 'prize' in the contest is something new in the U.S. but I get the impression that it is. It's been quite popular in Europe so far so who knows, maybe it will catch on in the U.S. as well.

Journal Journal: Gorilla in the Room

Curious to see where this will end up. I added this as a bookmark on slashdot first, a function first unknown to me. Now I'm also finding out I can add this bookmark to my personal journal. Life's a treat. http://wordpress.3dn.nl/2010/01/29/privacy-taboo/

This is interesting to hear! I thought development had really kind of died out after Miguel started with the GNOME thingie, guess I was wrong (ofcourse I only implemented some recursive copy / move / delete functions which have probably long been rewritten).

Awesome though that there's apparently still people out there that actively use it, god, it's been SO long!

Just curious if Slashdot would host a discussion on Network Solution's decision to block the domain http://fitnathemovie.com/ on which a Dutch politician intends to host a film about the Koran and Islam.

Check out http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nu.nl%2Fnews%2F1493296%2F52%2FProvider_haalt_fitnathemovie.com_offline.html&langpair=nl%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF8

and mod me down if you want to if this is the wrong way to go about it. I just think that with Network Solutions' involvement this becomes kind of a border crossing freedom of speech issue.
