With the end of the year approaching, it becomes natural to look back at the year past and sum up what's happened. Curiously, even though I should be in the mood for this, having just sent out the usual Proffitt Family Christmas newsletter, I find myself looking ahead more than looking behind.

The US elections are (blessedly) over, and like any political junkie, I am suffering from withdraw symptoms. After months of polls, blogs, and cable news, I find myself craving the process of democratically electing something, anything.
So you can imagine how excited I was to see that some LDN users were starting taking advantage of our Brainstorming tool. I wanted to take this opportunity to explain what this section of the LDN is all about and encourage everyone to participate!

A New Event for the Community

I gotta say, I'm pretty excited today. We've announced the 2009 event schedule, and we've added a new event for the Linux community: LinuxCon.
This is a conference that, like our other summits, is specifically geared towards a certain segment of the Linux community. The Kernel Summit we just hosted, as one example, is for the kernel developers. The upcoming End Users Summit, as another example, will be an opportunity for corporate end-users of Linux to share their goals and wishes for Linux in their organizations.

A lot of folks have been asking me what's going on with me on LDN, since they haven't seen me writing very much online. The truth is, I have veen writing, a lot. It's been mostly e-mails, telling people what's going on with LDN, getting things organized, plotting the next phase of my plans to rule the-- er, provide a high-quality resource for Linux developers.
