Wow, my first time presenting and a lot of panicking. I hope those who came enjoyed it, and now feel the world of Linux is a less scary place for us .Net developers.
Here is my presentation:
Every DDD session this year has been filmed; so if you missed it watch the DDD site for the video. Please also submit your feedback.
I will be doing a few posts on setting up Ubuntu and adding some addition content which I didn't have time to demonstrate.
Thank you too everyone who voted for "How to develop .Net on Linux using Ubuntu distro" session at DDD7. Was not excepting this session to get chosen was hoping the WiX would be selected, if any at all. This is my first time speaking at DDD, or any large/medium event for that matter. So excited and very nervous at the same time, should be fun !
When: Saturday, November 22, 2008 - 9:00 to 17:00
Where: Microsoft, Thames Valley Park, Reading, Berkshire RG6 1WG, England
Watch out for registration as places go very quickly

I could not find a way to do this without writing a template.
I started one then luckily through the power of the Internet found a better one. Done by Jeni Tennison found in the xsl-list archives and I have reproduce here.
<xsl:template name="escape-javascript">
<xsl:param name="string" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test='contains($string, "'")'>
<xsl:call-template name="escape-javascript">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select='substring-before($string, "'")' />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:text>\'</xsl:text>
<xsl:call-template name="escape-javascript">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select='substring-after($string, "'")' />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="contains($string, '
')">
<xsl:call-template name="escape-javascript">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring-before($string, '
')" />
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:text>\n</xsl:text>
<xsl:call-template name="escape-javascript">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring-after($string, '
')" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="contains($string, '\')">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, '\')" />
<xsl:text>\\</xsl:text>
<xsl:call-template name="escape-javascript">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring-after($string, '\')" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="$string" /></xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Had a good evening last night with the alt.net lads and lady. About 15 people turned up for either the beers and talk and/or dinner.This was only the second one and seeing if people will turn up. Mainly intros and telling others what you are doing technology wise. REST seemed to be the main topic for the main part "resources not services !".
Here are some photos from the evening http://www.flickr.com/photos/holytshirt/sets/72157605676029098/
Seb is still coming up with a format for the night. Which will follow something like this:
18:30 - 19:00 drinks
19:00 - 20:00 talk about a predetermined topic
20:00 - late dinner and each person comments on the topic, which gets posted up.
How should we tag our posts, photos ?
1. alt.net, london, beers
2. alt.net.uk.london.beers
Should we compile a list of attendees ?
See you next time !
