Friday–er, Wednesday–roundup
by the editorial team
Apologies to our international readers, but we’ll be taking the next two days off for Thanksgiving, effectively making today Friday in our world. So here’s your Friday roundup a bit early, and we’ll see you again on Monday.
Seneca College is focusing on teaching students how to participate in open source. Traditional universities are slow to pick up on this idea; Seneca College is not. Read what Frank Hecker has to say about Seneca College and open source.
LugRadio is a fortnightly British radio show that takes a relaxed, humorous look at Linux and open source. In episode 88, hear Havoc Pennington and Colin Walters from Red Hat talk about the Gnome Online Desktop project.
And if you do happen to be an American about to attempt to burn down the neighborhood with your turkey fryer, have you heard about the Char-Broil Big Easy? This is truly cooking with science, my geeky friends. Instead of risking loss of life and property with a giant grease fire, it uses infrared technology to simulate a fried turkey. Bonus–not dropping it oil means you can use a tasty dry rub. I can’t say I’ve tried one, but if you have, post a reply and let us know if it’s as cool as it sounds!
