In Brief: IBM touring for Linux development. IBM is on a worldwide tour to try to boost development on the Linux platform and help out users moving from Windows and Unix. A 40-city series of Linux technical briefings now under way intends to equip developers with Linux programming skills and information on development tools from the IBM WebSphere and Rational product lines. The half-day briefings, which began this month in Atlanta, are intended to assist corporate developers as well as ISVs and channel partners. The briefings are entitled, "Migrating and developing new applications for Linux."

SF RoboGames This Weekend. Vrogy writes "RoboGames (formerly RoboOlympics) kicked off on Friday in San Francisco with competitor check in and sub-Lightweight class fights. This competition, following in the footsteps of events such as Robot Wars and Battlebots, pits remotely-controlled fighting machines against each other in a bulletproof steel arena. The Competitors are many and tickets are still available. Saturday and Sunday will feature up to 340, or Superheavyweight robot combat, with such crowd favorites as Alcoholic Stepfather, a superheavy that spews flame nearly 25 feet, and Megabyte, a heavyweight that spins a steel shell of doom. RoboGames isn't only for fighting robots, though, it will also feature miniature robotic wrestlers called Robo-Ones, Lego bots, BEAM bots, robotic soccer games, and all kinds of art bots- it's like a festival of robots!"
