This is truly shocking:
had hoped to lead a discussion at this year’s OSCON about porting Frontier to Linux . . . it runs on Mac and Windows, but I really want it to run on Linux — so I proposed a session at OSCON to discuss this and see if I couldn’t recruit people to work on this. Unfortunately, yesterday I got the rejection email. I kind of expected it, because O’Reilly doesn’t seem to like me these days, or whatever — I don’t know
Basically he wanted a conference to give him a session to try to recruit people to port a niche, sparsely-used, archaic novelty application to Linux. As though there aren’t enough of those. Shocking when such a panel wasn’t immediately instituted. I’m sure it’s because O’Reilly hates Dave.
I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that nobody would show up to such a session.
