When they came for me

Sometimes prose is not enough.

When the apple came for OS 9.

I remained silent;

I was not a OS 9 user.

When they locked up Power PC

I remained silent;

I did not own a Power PC.

When they came for Carbon

I did not speak out;

I was not a Carbon developer

When they came for Flash,

I remained silent;

I was not a Flash developer.

When they came for me,

there was no one left to speak out.

So while I am upset about apple deprecating Java; the original poem by Martin Niemöller, is about something that actually matters.

OSGeoLive Lightening Overview

I am trying out slideshare as an easy way to share the OSGeoLive Lightening Overview; I will update this post when I find a website to actually store these slides on (any idea if FOSS4G 2010 website will host them?)

I would like to thank everyone who came to FOSS4G this year; especially those who sponsored the event or setup a booth. We spend a lot of time thanking the various development communities, user communities, education community, and conference organisers - all with good reason. A big thank you to the event and project sponsors for facilitating all that we do.
