<br>I have no decent pictures for aKademy or the Debian conference at<br>Edinburgh, so if any member has any please pass it on. I do have some<br>mobile phone pictures of Mark Shuttleworth's backside at the KDE conference
<br>(It is only interesting to the female members of Taylug), he kept turning<br>around to answer a question to the crowd of KDE developers as I pressed the<br>take picture button! I think Scotland was on the world stage with Linux this
<br>year through the KDE, Debian conferences and the Eben Moglen lecture<br>(personal opinion). I think now that we have an independent government (sort<br>of) that open source should be promoted throughout Scotland (no offense to
<br>non-Scots, we take you in as part of our community). I care about my country<br>and my Linux and I will do my best to promote that Linux should be looked at<br>within government departments in Scotland.<br><br>Gordon<br>

The language is not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; skin; world; star; We are one. No matter the pain; darkness; loss; fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognise this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one.
