Linuxweekend 2008 in Vienna: Lessons learnt

Last weekend Linuxweekend 2008 took place at the Metalab in Vienna. Lessons learnt:

  • ooo_as_text from the OOoPy suite (modify OpenOffice.org documents in Python) for getting the text from an OOo-File is nice (thanks to Rene and Ralf)
  • Mserv (a jukebox-style music server designed to play mp3, ogg, etc. files (configurable) based on ratings of users who are logged in to the system) has a nice approach (thanks Goesta Smekal)
  • Darik’s Boot And Nuke (self-contained boot disk that securely wipes the hard disks of most computers) could be interesting for grml 8-) (thanks again to Goesta Smekal, was a nice talk about FAI)
  • tuitest (check out svn trunk) for automated text user interface testing rocks! I’m looking forward to the first official release, AK :)
