Thanks, Steve. I had a great time and was happy to be a part of it.

So how do I sign up for next year?

Vern: You did a great job on your talk, and I was really gratified by the attendance. I believe that teaching programming will be one of the really great benefits of FLOSS in schools, but I was worried that we wouldn’t have anyone who cared. You proved that wrong! Way to go.

Comment on Dapper Drake and the Dell X1 by Vern Ceder

I haven’t used it much for any video that would really test the system (games, high quality video, etc), so I can’t say. I have noticed several upgrades of the xorg packages over the past month, so that may be something that varies.

Overall, I’ve been pleased with how responsive the system as whole is – Dapper seems to be much better in that department than Breezy.

I also am in love with my X1, it’s sweet. However, after my recent upgrade to Dapper Drake, I’m finding the graphics performance has gone far slower than usual. Did you notice something similar, or is it just me doing something wrong?

Actually, the guy himself (it was Ben Collins-Sussman) argued that either the bot passed the Turing Test or he (Ben) wasn’t nearly as interesting as he once thought….

So, do you think that IRC bot passed the Turing Test?
