On Politics, Porn Detectors and Linuxy Tricks
,----[ Quote ]
| Politics found its way onto the Linux community's radar when a CNN
| commentator said Barack Obama would be an open source kind of president,
| which gave FOSS some much-needed mainstream publicity. What other changes are
| in store with the new administration?

Obama Ubuntu

| People from the Obama campaign have said that they use Ubuntu 8.04. It seems

| can provide us with more details?

Alex Castellanos: Obama the Open Source president
,----[ Quote ]
| CNN analyst Alex Castellanos — one of the Republican pundits on a rather
| large team of political experts on hand on Election Day — made both a very

How Web 2.0 helped Obama win
,----[ Quote ]
| It became something of a running joke that McCain talked about the need
| for ‘net neutrality’ yet wasn’t someone who even used email himself. His lack
| of technology prowess was lampooned in the press, and at the tech-savvy
| Personal Democracy Forum conference in June, Mark Soohoo, McCain's deputy
| e-campaign director, drew laughter when he said, "You don't necessarily have
| to use a computer to understand how it shapes the country ... John McCain is
| aware of the Internet."

Will Obama be an open source president?
,----[ Quote ]
| Last night during CNN's election coverage, after it was clear that Obama
| would become the country's 44th president, pundit Alex Castellanos wondered
| aloud whether the government under Barack Obama would take on some of the
| grass roots flavor that marked the President-Elect's campaign.

Obama Campaign Hopes for Better Web Security
,----[ Quote ]
| The requirements are pretty much what you'd read in any e-commerce security
| help-wanted ad: VPN (virtual private network) and Unix or Linux experience,
| along with a "deep understanding" of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl)
| development. And of course, the successful candidate must be willing
| to "respond off-hours to high urgency security situations."
