This month we have a special guest: Tim Lord, Senior Editor of Slashdot!
This is going to be an awesome presentation. Tim's a lot of fun and he's been with Slashdot for a long time.
How long? Here's a bio from a 2006 OhMyNews article: "Tim Lord ("timothy" on Slashdot) is one of the site's editors, and for more than five years served as the site's managing editor; he has selected and posted close to 13,000 of the stories that have appeared on Slashdot (almost all of which are reader-submitted commentary on computer and other technical news), coordinated interviews with reader--submitted and--moderated questions, and collaborated with amateur reviewers on hundreds of book reviews. Lord graduated in 1998 from the University of Texas at Austin, and is currently a JD candidate at Temple Law School in Philadelphia."
Tim will show you how the Slashdot editors pick stories, cull spam, and attempt (mostly successfully!) to prevent duplicate stories from hitting the page. He'll do some live editing and story picking, too.
Tim is driving from Austin to Gainesville! It's going to be an epic trip. We are all in for a treat.
Also, I have one ticket to Open Source Bridge to raffle off. I've been to the conference in Portland and I loved it!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.
