Software Freedom Day and the Atlanta Linux Fest
Drove down to Atlanta this morning with a couple of guys from my LUG, Jas Eckard and David Nalley, to pimp the SouthEast LinuxFest. Technically, David Nalley, a Fedora Ambassador, went to speak at the event, but he helped Jas and I drum up support for SELF too. The event we went to was the Atlanta Linux Fest, a Software Freedom Day event put on by the Ubuntu Georga Loco group. The event was distro agnostic, and all about free software. I was even allowed to speak about the SouthEast LinuxFest (SELF). We handed out about 100 SELF flyers too. This was a great event that was planned in abouut 6 weeks, and had around 140 people show up. There were talks on Fedora 10, dual booting linux, lotus symphony, ssh and gpg, virtulization, and 3d gaming. Good times were had by all in attendance. A day full of free software talks, an installfest, and pizza too--what's not to like? I recorded some content for the podcast too. Many thanks go to Josh Chase, from the linuxcrypt podcast, and Nick Ali from the Ubuntu Podcast, and the Ubuntu Georgia Loco group for putting on such a wonderful Software Freedom Day/Linux Install Fest event.

Latest emelfm2 (0.3.2) for ubuntu edgy
Here it is emelfm2_0.3.2-1_i386.deb for ubuntu edgy. Link to download page is on the left hand side of this page. Offical site : emelfm2.net. YMMV with this deb package. It installs and works, but I have had some issues with icons. It will probably work just fine though. If you do have problems, google around for a fix, or install from source. I would be interested in knowing either way, whether you have problems, or if it works flawlessly. The source install is drop dead simple anyway (make, then make install -- well 1/3 more simple than a standard source install).

afuse sshfs automounter for ubuntu edgy
From the afuse website:

"Afuse is an automounting file system implemented in user-space using FUSE. Afuse currently implements the most basic functionality that can be expected by an automounter; that is it manages a directory of virtual directories. If one of these virtual directories is accessed and is not already automounted, afuse will attempt to mount a filesystem onto that directory. If the mount succeeds the requested access proceeds as normal, otherwise it will fail with an error."
