During my keynote at FOSDEM, I spoke a little bit about the network effects involved in the success of the LAMP stack. Just in case anyone in the crowd was unaware of the LAMP acronym, I spelt it out for them:
- Linux
- Apache
- Most of our cool scripting languages start with P
- PostgreSQL
We all had a laugh, and then went out for beer. Mmm, Cherry Kriek.
Hey, that’s my picture!
Great talk Jeff, hope to see you around again next year.
Most of our cool scripting languages start with P -> Python –> TurboGears.
Hey, just want to congratulate you for this great talk, we just need more of them! I really enjoyed it.
But as a not-native english speaker on some points i had problems to follow you. Maybe on your next talk you can remeber the non-native english people and speak a little bit slower.
I also use BLIMP (BSD + LIghttpd + MySQL + P?)
OK, dumb question…
Are you saying that your audience already knew what LAMP stood for and therefore made a joke of it by alterring it…
Or did you actually not know that it’s
Linux
Apache
MySQL
PHP

The acronym LAMP (or L.A.M.P.) refers to a set of free software programs commonly used together to run dynamic Web sites or servers:
* Linux, the operating system;
* Apache, the Web server;
* MySQL, the database management system (or database server);
* Perl, PHP, and/or Python, scripting languages.
Thank you, Captain Obvious!
