Linux Bootable Business Card
In a post to Advogato, the Linux BBC people are asking for help testing the 2.0 release. It looks like they’ve added quite a few features for the new version. Grab a copy from the website and boot a friend’s computer with it. That always freaks people out.

Future of Music Coalition
From the Creative Commons Weblog:
The Future of Music Coalition will host their third-annual Policy Summit January 4 through 7 in Washington D.C. The FMC3 summit will bring policymakers, academics, lawyers, activists — and, of course, a number of premier musicians — together for a discussion of artists’ rights and technology’s influence on the music industry.
I don’t think I’m going to be able to make the event. Yes, it’s in town, but I’m going to be taking a day off for Linux World in January, and we’re understaffed at work. Everyone else is sick. Much fun.
