Linuxtag blogging (day 1)

Today, the Linuxtag in Karlsruhe started. I'm present at the gentoo booth.
Impressions from the first day: According to the Linuxtag blog, Ute Vogt from the german government helt a speech and spoke against software patents, which is opposed to the politics of the german ministry of justice.

As I already told yesterday, a couple of software patent lobbyists are present, especially Sun, HP, Intel, IBM and Nokia. I asked at the Sun booth for an opinion and the answer was basically that nobody is there who can give a statement. I plan to ask the others as well, it might be a good idea if others would do this as well.
I also plan to ask other companies about there opinion and if they are opposed to software patents, if they would support the economic majority campaign.

Mirabile of MirOS asked me to create an ebuild for mksh, which I did, and he promised to spend me a beer for it ;-)
I'm currently at the AKK, but didn't see him to get it.
