Jaunty Release Party

[Dustin Kirkland]

Hello Ubuntu Austin-

I'm planning on celebrating the Jaunty release at The Jackalope, 404 E
6th Street, from 5pm - 7pm on Friday, April 24, 2009, by enjoying a
few beers, and demonstrating some of Jaunty's new features

I have not yet found any other release party plans, so I announced this at:
* http://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2009/04/jaunty-release-party-austin-texas.html
* http://door64.com/event/n/9447
* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JauntyReleaseParties
* https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustinTeam
as well as the ubuntu...@googlegroups.com mailing list.

If these plans don't line up with yours, hopefully you'll throw your
own release party and celebrate in your own way.

Cheers,
--

My wife and I are going to see Richard Stallman's talk at UT that
afternoon, but we plan to come downtown
after that and help celebrate.

Here's the info on the Stallman talk, in case anyone hasn't heard about it yet:

Neat. He's also speaking on GPLv3 on Thursday night:

I will be there. It's plugged into my calendar.

Nobody showed up for our scheduled Ubuntu meeting at Primo 360 so I
assumed there was no interest beyond that. Dustin was out of town, of
course.

I had work until 6:30, and also I thought because I hadn't checked my
planner right that the meeting was at 7:00. Shame, too, because I'm
working three left turns from the Arboretum now. If we're not meeting
again in person, I guess it's back to Plan A.

Argh, looks like I'll be a day late. I'm headed to Austin on the 25th
for Cloud Camp Austin. Wish I could be there for the release party.

I get off work at 5pm and will be traveling in from Bastrop to catch the tail end of the party--unless there's a specific reason why we have to stop at 7pm? (If not, then I'll probably stick around until 8:30 or 9pm.)

Well since I'm gonna actually leave my cave to go see RMS talk Friday
afternoon and that finishes off at 4:30ish... It seems a trip by
Jackalpe would be in order.

Maybe somebody can tell me how to make video links play (News website,
U-tube, etc. etc)... or on the rare occasion they do play... play with
out the flashing of the picture.

[Rocky]

I don't know if this helps you or not regarding video marketing -
something I will be doing much more of soon.

Somebody help the noob...

In the following command what does the very last "60" do?  I understand the rest of it.

"iostat 60 > /tmp/iostat.log 60"

[Skip Guenter]

Turns out it was a typo... the correct command was "iostat 60 > /tmp/iostat.log &"

So now the question is... What does the "&" at the end of the line do?

[Mark Hicks]

The final & give you back control of the command shell.  Try it out:

open a shell and enter "gedit"   Note that GEdit will open, but the command shell just waits for you to close Gedit
open a shell and enter "gedit &"   Note that a new shell gets spawned (see that it will display something like "(1) 2396"), Gedit opens and that you get immediate control of the original shell

kewl, thanx.
