As usual lately -- too much to do, not enough time. So I'll be brief:

Linux: it appears the planning of the Welcome to Linux series is a bit stuck. Trying to finalize things, a procedure which requires lots of yelling, arguing and catfighting cannot be done on-line. Even though we have several things finished.

We'll try to return to some real life scratching before working again on-line on the various lectures and the things to be done.

Salsa: we about to go to salsa weekend during middle of October. I need to promote the weekend a bit, and I need to make one workshop (even though not final yet). I assumed that it would take me few hours all in all... Guess what? It requires more.

GSO: grad. students organization is a lair of bad financial and stupid internal-politics decisions. Several months ago I tried to help to the economical unit of the GSO to have a better way (by setting the right watchers, doing an internal check, etc.). So they decided to sell the company, and it seems that all the losts (about 100K$) will not be covered, which is not surprising -- you can't really sell a losing company (if you wish it to continue to exist), so they'll sell only the parts that make money (and of course, get less then they really worth), and will be stuck with the losing parts.

The GSO leaders are eventually nice people, but they do have weird decisions, and very weird way of acting, which makes you suspicious all the time that they are not cheating (Apperantly they don't cheat, they are just dumb-???). Takes too much of my time.

Advogato: nice... but takes my time away...
