Speaking of conferences, the hpcmips port page references the Linux
Conference 2000 Spring in Tokyo. Of course the page is in Japanese. But I
used Netscape 6's translate function (under View) and was able to read the
page in English fairly well! Here's a sampling of the translated page (from
original Japaense language page:
http://lc.linux.or.jp/program/detail.html#smallworld):
