I stumbled across an interesting Powerpoint presentation earlier called "Hackers are your Friends."

If you think hackers are evil bad guys then Hackers are your Friends is worth a look.

For the rest my favorite part comes early - the difference between crackers and hackers. To summarize:

> Darth Maul

Darth Maul didn't last too long though.

There's two sides to the source.

Had a great time the other night with HLUG. We heard about this years Ontario Linux Fest which I missed. Then there was some discussion on Copyright reform and Peter Salus sold a couple books. (A good read btw!)

I spoke a bit about Atomic OS: Take 2 and I'll have some more updates on the project soon.

Following that we learned about the MySQL Workbench project (I look forward to playing with it ;-) and finished up with some more talk on Copyright and related issues here in Canada and in the U.S.

Anyway, my presentation notes are online now if you'd like to have a look. I'll be building on it for future presentations so if you have any thoughts or suggestions I'd love to hear 'em. Thanks!
