in my experience usually meetings fail for basic fundamental reasons...
1) no agenda
2) no agenda sent in advance so people can come prepared to speak to and understand issue(s) and goal of meeting
3) due to #2 most of the meeting becomes a learning session of Q&A to understand the issues at hand
4) no review of previous meeting action items -or- progress to complete them so the wheels start spinning
5) meeting minutes aren't recorded by someone
6) action items aren't put into meeting minutes
goto #1

It really is like Dilbert.

What the heck else can you do for 20 minutes in the crapper ... browse Readers Digest. That's the real reason geeks are willing to pay extra for paper magazines...

From Intel's AppUP website here is a writeup/guide about how to create a multi-boot environment on the Atom based ExoPC

http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/blog/2011/07/07/creating-multi-boot-exopc-tablet

This shows how to multiboot Ubuntu, Windows, MeeGo on the ExoPC.

NOTE: the ExoPC is exactly the same h/w as the European WeTab tablet. BOTH are made by a subsidiary of ASUS.

I have an ExoPC which is ATOM N450 based. Being Atom cpu Ubuntu 11.10 installed easily and required NO chroot.

I've looked for quite a while and as far as my searching has found there are no ARM based linux for tablets out there "yet".

Ubuntu 12.04 (april 2012) is going to support OMAP4 ARM devices. Tegra2 cpu included so alot of the current flock of ARM Tegra 2 Tablets should be able to run it and any derivatives (mint etc) when that is released next spring.

There's also been alot of work by Canonical/Ubuntu and others that you can find at www.linaro.org

are you saying you had replaced android with linux... or you created a chroot environment that the linux installed into

I'd like to know how many of these sponsors have EVER had a job where they were expected to
- work 4-5 weeks or more straight with no breaks
- consistently be on-call 24x7x365
- sleep in their office or cube and eat takeout for days

All this will do is make it even easier to put even more pressure on people. Even some IT person making $75k-125K/year needs time off, time with their families/kids.

Take away any restraints and Corporations will just flog their mule-workers to death until they get sick, quit or get divorced instead of hiring more people (which would be a good thing for employment in the U.S.).

Then the corporation will just outsource the job to some 3rd world person that will work like that... and in this economy sending even more jobs overseas really helps the U.S.A. ! NOT !

I wonder if ANY of those Senators bothered to even talk to IT workers about their lives and work environments.

cloudstack is a cloud orchestration toolset/api that supports multi-tenant cloud provisioning & services. it appears to be a fairly complete architecture but is also in a transitional phase as they try to implement support for further cloud hypervisor environments.
They are contributing to OpenStack and from what I understand will include OpenStack as an component of CloudStack's future development.
Here's a good writeup & summary:

Microsoft is so far behind in cloud/virtualization that they'll have to start paying people to use 365. What's the old saying... "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice shame on me" The "cloud" has very rapidly evolved and Open Source is a gigantic force there. Look at AWS EC2 and just check how many AMI's are linux based...

My search shows of ALL AMI's on EC2

-- only 820 are Windows
-- 5,762 are Linux (ubuntu, debian, redhat, centos etc)

Since AWS is by far the largest IaaS Public Cloud ... what does that tell you about what's being adopted in "cloud"
