Hmm, hard to tell from just one photo. Perhaps if they were to get LG onto the next LXF podcast (being interviewed about Karoshi, of course) we could hear if they sound at all related.

Hmm, I started with Linux ten years ago (in October), which means that this year must be the tenth anniversary of the LXA pilot magazine.
I wonder if there will a party or other celebrations (the good thing being that we get to do it all again next year when it will be LXF's proper tenth anniversary).

oh, just seen this post, going to bump it cause it is important, I must admit I only ever get problems online, or within the school community(male network managers/techies), whenever I have been to linux expos or lug meetings I have never had any problems. I must admit having this handle does make it pretty obvious and it can be hindrance especially when asking for help, or even worse when I am trying to help someone, but it isn't as bad as it was 10 years ago when I really was a linux girl and attitudes have improved....just my 2 pence worth.
