Good music, good software. Good times (too bad about the strike, but they use an interesting "workaround" in the podcast). Huzzah!

From Macleans: Locked-out CBC Radio staff have started producing Internet-based audio broadcasts to fill the void left by the labour dispute at Canada's public broadcaster. And union members say the growing collection of recorded programs - digital audio files known as podcasts - represent a small taste of what CBC listeners can expect if the lockout of the Crown corporation's 5,500 employees drags on.

Came across this article from InfoWorld.
The article tries to show how you don't have to spend lots of money on commercial software for your business when you have open source software which is just as good and free. An interesting read since it provides reviews on open source software that applies to every aspect of running a business.

From CBC:
The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear further arguments regarding a levy on iPods and similar digital music players.
On Thursday, the court dismissed an appeal of last December's Federal Court decision to quash a levy that had been charged for the popular music devices.
The levy affected digital music players with embedded memory, including Apple's popular iPod. The Canadian Private Copying Collective, a non-profit agency that collects tariffs on behalf of musical artists and record companies, had been pursuing the appeal.

From NewsForge: The third of four days of this year's Ottawa Linux Symposium started before I did in the morning but the remainder of the day offered a great deal of interesting information on Linux virtualisation, women in the community, and an update on the state of Canadian copyright law.

From NewsForge: The second sitting of the 7th session of the Ottawa Linux Symposium saw several interesting, highly technical discussions. Here are my reports on Trusted Computing, the ext3 filesystem, the e1000 network driver, and SELinux. I attended a session called Trusted Computing and Linux. It was led by Emily Ratcliff and Tom Lendacky of the IBM Linux Technology Centre. The two presenters switched off frequently throughout their presentation. Read the full thing here

From OnLAMP: I've finished the first day of the Ottawa Linux Symposium, and already feel I've had enough conference to last a long while. The last time I got to an OLS was four years ago. In the intervening time they've grown a great deal, learned a lot, and become even more professional. Some 800 attendees from 37 countries are here. Already, two speakers have made wisecracks about OpenOffice.org, tagging it as a bloated memory hog. I have the suspicion that some attendees see Linux as something to run for its own intrinsic value, rather than as a platform for useful applications that can actually help people accomplish something.
