GUADEC notes
- Istanbul looks great. Many cats. Helpful people. Lots of beatiful things everywhere. And I went to Asia for the first time in my life yesterday evening. Sure, it was
only
the asian side of Istanbul, but still, big event!
- Quite easy to spot GUADEC people when you walk around. And hard to eat somewhere and not find some of them :-)
- Lucas really is my evil twin. Proof: those two posts that also summarize my first two days. Lots of discussion with him. Hard to not fall in love with him ;-)
- Doctor Don is here. And it seems he's talking about pulse to lots of people because Shaun promised him eternal glory.
- Had a BoF about release notes. Hopefully, this has helped make people aware of the various issues we have when writing release notes. Important thing that most people seem to not know: the most consuming part of the release notes is doing research about what to put in there, not writing -- so no need to be a good writer to help! Oh, and if you're here in Istanbul, you should really go and talk to Davyd or Murray to get them excited about new 2.24 material that they should put in the release notes.
- Andreas still loves to tell this story about his ancestors, the woodmen. Explains a lot of things.
- Also had a talk/BoF about translation tools. I think we really have a good plan, and Dimtiris is so great. Good to see my beloved Danilo again and glad to see his positive feelings about all this.
- Couldn't attend many sessions so far because of meetings. That's a bit sad, but on the other hand, everything went well and there are some exciting stuff.
- I'm Silvia again this year. Still no progress in catalan.
- I also have two nametags, so I'm ready in case somebody starts stealing all nametags.
- Couldn't play the FreeFA tournament, but I heard Bastien lost. Don't know if I can go and ask him to check it's true :-)
- No Love/Hate wall yet? Any volunteer to set this up?
