Sarah Meyers asks the key question that was on everyone's mind at this week's LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco: Has the open-source operating system gotten anyone laid, ever? The consensus: No. SpikeSource CEO Kim Polese admits to knowing Linux creator Linus Torvalds and insufferable free-software gadfly Richard Stallman, but making out with them? "I'm definitely not going to continue this interview. This is not a serious business interview, is it?" We always knew you were a smart cookie, Kim!

Feeling like less of a nerd because you're not attending LinuxWorld at the Moscone Center this year? Crash the swank VIP reception at the W Hotel on Wednesday night instead. Goes from 5:30 - 7:30 and should include a "who's who list of Linux luminaries to unwind, debrief and discuss the future of Linux over cocktails and appetizers." Apparently the LinuxWorld organizers emailed an invitation to the open-bar soirée to every registered conference attendee, only to send out a retraction days later. Oops. After the jump, the emails with a link to register for Wednesday night's event.
