Segment Two- Dave Whitinger and the (e)LXer of
life–

We will be joined tonight by Dave Whitinger.
Dave has been on TLS many times, including last fall’s Linux Today
Anniversary show. Tonight we will chat with Dave about his latest
couple undertakings including his new LXer news site.

Dave worked for Red Hat in 1997, and in 1998 he co-founded Linux
Today with Dwight Johnson. After selling Linux Today to
internet.com, he worked with Atipa in their web services department
until everyone was laid off. For much of 2002, he worked for the
good folks at LWN.net, helping them with business development
issues after their unacquisition from TUCOWS.

LXer(.com) (pronounced Elexer) is a Linux news
website whose goal is to be driven by an editor who knows and cares
about the Linux community, has only relevant and tasteful (and
text-based!) advertisements, frequently updated with useful and
interesting stories, announcements, reviews, security alerts and
editorials, fun features to give easy access to the news, community
participation through discussion forums and open story queue
moderation, and an open database (compltely open with external
links included. Anyone can have their own Linux news website using
our feed!)
