I recognize Martinez’s hair immediately. Natural and bouncy, much like her personality, I can spot it a mile away as she strides toward the Linux Caffe at the corner of Christie and Harbord.

Slow jazz lingers in the air of the coffee shop as the gorgeous Latin musician enters the front door. We find immediate common ground in our love of baked goods and warm drinks on an ugly winter’s day.

CLOSED for New Years festivities

That's right, once in a blue moon, with a partial eclipse..

closed Thursday, December 31st and Friday, January 1st

Open as usual, Saturday @ 10ish

Thanks the thousands who visited linuxcaffe in 2009, but most especially to our lovely regulars (you know who you are) we're all about you!

It has been a year of learning and development, of reflection and re-invention, and the year ahead is full of promise.

2010 here we come !

So here's the thing, in the fall and early winter of 2009, I got really wrapped up in a gazillion details and meta-details and I let this fine site get crufty, but NO MORE ! As the new year is on it's way, I resolve to make changes. One of which is that I'll be making much more frequent visits, including an effort at a daily personal blog (not for the front page) So thank you for sticking with it, and I hope you'll see this space take a more active mode, with features to keep you coming back. Thanks for watching, djp

The holidays are upon us. While I haven't updated the site in too long, I'll like to that those who visit, and to wish each and every one of you comfort and joy this season.

Expect good things in the year to come,

thank you,

David J Patrick

Happy Thanksgiving !
Linuxcaffe will be closed today, so that we may bring you fresher, more delicious fare, without totally exploding because we never rest.

So sorry if this causes any inconvenience, and yes, we should have posted this earlier. We're crazy about you and can't wait to see you on Tuesday.

Love and Thanks,
the Manidgemint

It's true. linuxcaffe is CLOSED today, Monday Sept 7th, so that we may fix a bunch of stuff and get ready for a busy fall season.. and relax, of course!

Over the past two months, I’ve given several talks on technology futures at local universities.

One question (still) keeps getting asked about the “winner” of Microsoft vs. Open Source or more specifically Linux vs. Windows.

While i tend to be binary about things, in the short term it’s hard to see a technical “winner” between these two platforms. At the server level, both work, on the desktop one has an enormous lead and mobile is still in flux.
