Title: LUG Radio Live
Post by: Lord C on 2 April 2005, 17:56: I'm not sure how many of you listen to LUG Radio (http://www.lugradio.org), possibly the best Linux/Comedy Radio Station :)

Well, they're hosting a Linux Conference with a difference -
LUG Radio Live (http://www.lugradio.org/live/2005/) will be a non-commercial, fun, 'for the people, by the people' event.

Speakers include Ian Bell, the co-write of Elite.

There will be all the usual you'd expect from a Linux Convention, plus a Live recording of LUG Radio, all-day bar, and a Multplayer Gaming LAN.

LUG Radio Live costs only

I do believe that both should have one daemon for the clipboard, so there would be no problems anymore with copying between a GTK app and a K app.

Yes, it's the kind of humor that I use daily, I'm beginning to like this :p

Regarding the clipboard, someone pointed me to this site (http://members.chello.nl/~h.lai/gnome-clipboard-daemon/index.html), for a Gnome clipboard.
Works fabulously.

I'm sure it works fabulously, but that's not really my point.
I was thinking more about KDE and Gnome making XClipboard a standard, so there won't be a problem between the different GUI's.

Actually, Linux needs more standards, and the individual project groups just have to communicate more with each other, instead of working around each other.
