Gerhardt, Doc Searls (Linux Journal), Arne Flones and Russ
Pavlicek; have (may have) another outstanding show lined up tonight
on The Linux Show!!

In Segment One – Hot News: We will be covering
the hot Linux news of the last few weeks. In particular the cover
story from this weeks Telephony Magazine, claiming that
Microsoft Obstructs Mobile Data Roaming. IS it
about time the other people in the IT industry are finally waking
up to the reality people in Open Source have know for years? Or
WHAT?

In Segment Two – Cool The Kompany
We are joined tonight by CEO Shawn Gordon of
theKompany.com, and we will be talking about the entire family of
theKompany products for the Zaurus. The impressive list of
available apps can be found at the URL http://www.thekompany.com/embedded/

Shawn has been programming since 1978 and prior to founding
theKompany.com had founded S.M.Gordon & Associates which
specialized in utility software for the HP 3000 series of
mini-computers which is the platform he worked on from 1983 to
1999. Shawn has developed in over a dozen languages and worked in
every area of I.T.(he’s a geek). Shawn has also worked (corporate)
for major companies in virtually every area of business which
provides for a good understanding of what businesses and users
expect from software and how they will use it.

theKompany.com
was founded in August of 1999, with the original goal to build
developer applications for KDE. Since that time they have expanded
our mission statement and now also include desktop software with
developer tools as well as multi-platform support by using Qt. Most
products are now available on both Linux and Windows, and they are
starting to release some Mac OS X versions now as well. Late last
year they got involved with embedded software with the pre-release
of the Linux based Sharp Zaurus PDA, and now focus about half their
attention on that platform.

Please join us on the show, and check our IRC
Chat(irc.thelinuxshow.com #linuxshow).
Remember tune in at 6pm pt, 7pm mt, 8pm ct, and 9pm et. NOTE: we
are now on Daylight Saving Time in the US.
