The group picture of the Debconf11 has been up for 33 hours now and finally I also had a moment of time to make the numbered version so you can add peoples names to it. I am pleased to say it is the one of the largest Debconf group photos yet with 263 people and [...]
Guys, we have a problem. The name of that problem is NVidia and their Optimus technology. The idea of that tech is quite neat – take a laptop, put two video cards in it, use the powerful card when you need 3D power, use the weak card when you need to conserve battery. The problem [...]
This year Debconf is a bit off the beaten track, so there is a bit of anxiety in the participants – flights to Banja Luka are quite expensive (I’d guess we have packed the relevant dates pretty full already) and other options are going via Zagreb or Ljubljana, but there people do not yet have [...]
It looks like I am going to Debconf11! Vacation time is booked, registration is in, only some final approvals inside Accenture are pending to pay my flights. I must say after working in Finland for the whole winter, I need to get out and get to friendly (and relatively chatty) Debian people more than ever.
I have just looked at traffic to my photos from Debconf10 during and after the event. During the event I sent out the link to the photos to Twitter/Identi.ca and to IRC channel of the conference. The amount of people visiting my photos rose from <100 per day to around 1000 per day. That might [...]

There will still be a few photos from today uploaded to that set tomorrow morning, but it is almost complete. Hint: it also contains a video of DPL [...]
After I finished an re-read my epic post describing my first day and a half at Debconf10 I suddenly realised that if I continue to describe the rest of 13 days here in such style and verbosity this would become a book, a boring one at that, so I decided to limit myself to 2 [...]
I had planned long for this Debconf and with the experience from the previous times I did all I could to reach one goal – minimise stress. I think I got it right this time. First of all I got my company (Accenture) pay for the whole thing, so I did not have to worry [...]
After a few months, today I finally got the approval and As I work for Accenture now, I got them to pay for the plane tickets and also spring for the ‘Professional’ registration, so more people can attend. I am very happy, and very grateful to the company and to the managers here in Riga [...]
