“Since last summer’s Linux Beer Hike (or LBW, Die
Linuxbierwanderung) in Northern Bavaria, the alternative operating
system has gained a much higher profile.”
“Organizers of the Beer Hike encourage anyone and everyone to
attend — and indeed, last year in Bavaria some guests joined
almost at the last minute — but besides hikes and beer-drinking,
there will also be a lot of serious computer talk.”
“This is the ultimate Linux user’s holiday,” Willem
Konynenberg, an event organizer, wrote in an email. “The venue is
Coniston in the Lake District, so beloved by Wordsworth and other
poets.“
