[edit] Wikimania in Atlanta!

Hi! I noticed your involvement on U.S. South-related articles, categories and WikiProjects, and I wanted to let you know about a bid we're formulating to get next year's Wikimania held in Atlanta! If you would like to help, be sure to sign your name to the "In Atlanta" section of the Southeast team portion of the bid if you're in town, or to the "Outside Atlanta" section if you still want to help but don't live in the city or the suburbs. If you would like to contribute more, please write on my talk page, the talk page of the bid, or join us at the #wikimania-atlanta IRC chat on freenode.org. Have a great day!

P.S. While this is a template for maximum efficiency, I would appreciate a note on my talk page so I know you got the message, and what you think. This is time-sensitive, so your urgent cooperation is appreciated. :) Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 08:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Sign your name as a volunteer here. That page explains everything. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 23:20, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimania 2008/Conference of the Americas

Hello, As you may or may not know, Alexandria, Egypt was selected to host Wikimania 2008 [1]. So as to prevent the hard work of the many Wikimedians involved in the Atlanta bid from going to waste, we have decided to host a conference for the Americas. This is in no way an attempt to compete with Wikimania or make a statement against Wikimania.

As one of the people signed up to help with the Wikimania Atlanta bid, we hope you will join us at the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas. We will be having a meeting tonight in IRC tonight (Oct 15) at 9:30PM in #cota-atlanta on irc.freenode.org to discuss the conference. For more information about IRC see [2].

For more information about the Wikimedia Conference of the Americas see http://www.cota-atlanta.org and our wiki http://www.cota-atlanta.org/wiki.

If you do not wish to receive further notices about the COTA please remove your name from our notify list. --Cspurrier 20:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Operating system-level virtualization: table needs expanding to include kvm, xen, etc

Hi, I have noticed you wanted to expand the Operating system-level virtualization#Implementations table to include Xen, KVM, etc. This probably means the article itself doesn't describe the OS-level virtualization very clear -- because neither Xen nor KVM are using this technology. So I have reverted your edit there, if you feel it's wrong let's discuss it. --K001 (talk) 22:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Good point. I should have checked the existing discussion page or read the article more carefully. PuerExMachina (talk) 02:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Windows Vista Embedded

I noticed that you removed my deletion nomination for Windows Vista Embedded and told me to google it. I've done that, and I don't see anything that shows that Windows Vista Embedded exists. I think the authoritative references are Microsoft's Windows Embedded Products page and this press release, Microsoft Charts Its Road Map for Windows Embedded Business. I think the confusion arose because there is both Windows XP Embedded (a componentized version of XP Professional) and Windows XP for Embedded Systems (essentially full XP). People assumed Microsoft would release a componentized version of Vista and call it Windows Vista Embedded, but so far they have not. Instead they only released Windows Vista for Embedded Systems (essentially full Vista). To make this discussion more confusing, Microsoft just renamed both Windows XP for Embedded Systems and Windows Vista for Embedded Systems to Windows Embedded Enterprise. I mentioned all this on talk:Windows Vista Embedded when I made the edit. Once you've reviewed the two links to Microsoft above, could you please revert your edit?

I am well aware of the confusion of naming, and am working on articles now to make this mess clearer. As you can see on my talk page, have had a recent discussion with User:Soumyasch as to what to do. Windows Vista Embedded will likely end up being redirected to Windows Vista editions in the near future, since at this point, "Vista Embedded" only refers to two specialized editions of Vista targeted at the embedded device market, and is not a separate release of Windows.
