The First Geek Wedding At a LinuxFest 93
At the Ohio LinuxFest yesterday, two Linux geeks were married — or had their projects merged into a single trunk, as the officiant, Lord Drachenblut, put it. The wedding of Randy Noseworthy (proprietor of the Juiced Penguin) and Janet Edmonson was announced last week and was live-tweeted by at least one attendee — here's his photo of the happy couple. There's also a video of the ceremony, at which Jon "Maddog" Hall offered a blessing via pre-recorded audio.

Just wait until he forks her kernel.....
The real question is, will they release child projects under the GPL?

If he forks her kernel he might have a kernel panic and then a core dump.

For my part I'm just waiting for the merged processes to fork and create a child process.

There are such? I heard before but now I see for myself. Sakes alive !! It's as if marriage was a wish granted before death comes knocking his final toll ??
Before the obvious retortion, yes, R.M.S. is elderly, but he is G.O.D. so that is expected !!

"and Eric Raymond was best man"
Perhaps explaining why such an effort has been made to wipe it from our collective memory.
CAPTCHA: 'romantic'. Something I never associate with ESR.

Where is the ceremony where the the groom's friends spit on his nerd card, pour vodka on it, and set it on fire??

I hear all sorts of thing like countries legalizing homosexual marriages, which is jolly good by me. But what's the bloody point in legalizing asexual marriages?!

A Linux geek named Randy Noseworthy got married? That is news worthy.
Conrats to both of them!

Given the presumed rarity of a couple of Linux users having the requisite social skills to even *make friends*, let alone marry, I'd say this qualifies as an absolutely momentous event. They probably should have had the music from 2001 accompanying the bridal march; it'd be appropriate in more ways than one. ;)
