The second public face-to-face KLUG Meeting was 3 Mar, 2005 at 8 pm.

The location of the meeting was in "Mishref United" Café in Mishref Area (Close to Kuwait International Fair / 6th Ring Road Motor- highway).

I would like to thank who ever attended the LUG meeting. It was really helpful, encouraging, and interesting. We met in Star Bucks, Meshrif Area - Kuwait at 8 pm. The weather was very nice and the topics discussed were very HOT:).

Following two months after the release of the 2.6.9 Zonked Quokka Linux kernel [story], Linux creator Linus Torvalds released Woozy Numbat, the 2.6.10 kernel. He summarizes:

"Ok, with a lot of people taking an xmas break, here's something to play with over the holidays (not to mention an excuse for me to get into the Glögg for real ;)

"Mostly a lot of small fixes since 2.6.10-rc3, with the biggest thing being probably the CIFS update and the switch-over to the new DVB frontend driver world order. Some MMC and USB work too, and ARM updates as usual."

Further information can be found in the release announcements for 2.6.10-rc1 [story], 2.6.10-rc2 [story], and 2.6.10-rc3 [story], as well as in the complete changelog. The latest version of the kernel can be downloaded from your nearest kernel.org mirror. Read on for the list of changes since 2.6.10-rc3

Sun Microsystems Inc. has proposed a new open-source license to the Open Source Initiative, but Linus Torvalds and others doubt that it will help Sun create an open-source community.

The new Common Development and Distribution License, or CDDL, is based on the MPL (Mozilla Public License1 .1). Although there are more than50 open-source licenses currently approved by the OSI, Sun said in the proposed license's executive summary that none of them was acceptable.
