Maddog in space

[Maddog] It's a relatively slow news day, so it seems like a perfect time to post an amusing picture of Jon "maddog" Hall, taken by Flickr user "blmurch" at the Jornadas Regionales de Software Libre 2008 in Buenos Aires. Click on the thumbnail for the full image.

Background story: Mark Shuttleworth cancelled his presentation at the 2008 Jornadas Regionales de Software Livre. Maddog graciously filled the space man's slot at the conference with a special presentation.

This year's JRSL was a good conference, with over 700 people in attendance.

Livre should be Libre (In spanish you always us B before R, never V) and yes that is a Mate.

Obviously Jon is drinking mate, a way to feel well common in South America.
