Yellow Cow Blog

Just noticed that one of my geeky people-discussing-important-stuff was photobombed by a guy on a coffee dispenser.

See for yourself:

So I finally got around to create a blog as well. Until now I successfully resisted to have one since I usually hate writing stuff that no-one really reads. But I find that this blog can pretty well serve me as a nice place to keep notes to myself that might be considered useful for others.

The first thing to blog about is my visit to FOSDEM.
It was my first year at FOSDEM and I must say I really liked it. After meeting fellow Fedora Ambassadors at the FAD EMEA 2008 for the first time I now had the chance to meet even more of them. I really enjoyed meeting people of whom I only knew the name and what they did before. It’s always great to have a face with the name in your mind.

I arrived together with Christoph in Brussels-Midi on Friday and after we checked into the hotel we began making our way to the Beer Event. We started to “love” the city of Brussels for it’s layout and road design which at times can be really confusing. But we finally arrived at the beer event. I had some “Delirium Tremens” which were very good. The next morning I found out that mixing strong beer with absinthe is not a good thing to do. Unfortunately the headache lasted the whole day and so I wasn’t really fit on Saturday.

On Sunday I was feeling quite well again and stayed at the booth for quite some time talking to people and handing out swag. I also managed to attend Max’s talk and the FreeIPA Talk later on, which was quite interesting.

I’m pretty sure that I’ll be going to FOSDEM next year as well.
