UltraPenguins Moving at the Speed of Light.

New architectures are both easier, and harder, to port modern operating systems to. They are easier to port because modern machines offer more options, and thus less constraints, to the implementator of the support. They are harder to port because with all these new choices, a well tuned port requires more thought and work to obtain the absolute best performance. The port of Linux to UltraSparc based platforms will be used as a concrete example to illustrate these issues in depth.


GNU Current Projects

Richard Stallman will give a technical overview of some current GNU software projects, including the GNU Hurd (the GNU kernel) and Guile (the GNU extensibility library).


Ethico-political issues of free software

Richard Stallman will talk about the origin and philosophy of the GNU project, and how these relate to the free software community's present challenges.


IP Version 6, Why, what and how ?

Conclusions

Alan Cox

Name: Alan Cox

Age: 29

Employer: Cymru.Net

Education: Degree in Computer Science from The University Of Wales, Swansea.

Linux Experience: Alan is the author of much of the Linux networking protocol code and protocol stacks. He is also the author of the original Linux SMP code, which was sponsored by Caldera Inc.

His work in the networking layers included much reviewing of the Linux IPv6 support and the RFC drafts for the protocol. Alan took an active part on the IPv6 implementors list before handing the Linux IPv6 project over to Pedro Roque.

Alan's current projects are the Linux/Mac68K port, and drivers for the IBM PC110 palmtop.

Alan writes a monthly Linux column for Boardwatch Magazine.

Other Interests:

Computer Security

Alan has a longstanding interest in computer security issues, but gave up co-operating with CERT when they failed to announce or do anything to further the fixing of a serious Solaris 2.5 security bug which is now 15 months old and still it seems unfixed.

Gardening

Alan recently discovered gardening. What this will result in is a mystery. At the moment the count is an unbuilt shed, a lot of broken concrete and two patches of lawn.
