CeBIT: Clustering with Debian

Bytec (the guys with the nice advertisement in LinuxMagazin or iX) had showed at their booth (Hall 1, 4h4, Fujitsu-Siemens IIRC) a small Cluster running on Debian:

Please take a close look at the penguin sitting on the cluster. I really think he is looking astonished ;)

Unfortunately I didn't had the opportunity to play with it :(

CeBIT: Pictures wanted!

During our presence here at CeBIT several people took pictures of us or our booth. Could those please get in contact with me, sending me their pics or putting them somewhere online so I can fetch them?

CeBIT: Mike poster

Welcome back to my (nearly) live report from this years Debian booth at CeBIT.

We got asked very often, if they can buy this nice Mike poster. Unfortunately we lost the original and can't remember who the poster designed. But we have a jpg-File, which is good enough to print it on DinA3 (and even more if it doesn't mind you to see all those pixels).

You can find it at Joeys site: http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/mike.html.

CeBIT: Thanks Cindy!

For those of you, who have never been at CeBIT: There are some newspapers which are printed especially for the fair. Normally you try to not get them or just throw them into the next dustbin. But not this morning!

This is page one of the Messe Zeitung. The text reads in a rough translation like the following: Headline: Open for everything. Second Headline: not only Super model Cindy Margolis is using Linux. First sentences of the Text: If that isn't a reason for Open Source: Super model Cindy Margolis works since several years with the Operating System Debian, a combination of the Linux-Kernel and components of the GNU-Project [..]

Of course most men will only look at the picture, but at least, she wears a shirt with swirl and Debian at a prominent place ;)
