Debconf t-shirts

Here is one more photo from Debconf11 that has been missed in all the excitement – t-shirts from all Debconfs so far: from Debconf3 up to Debconf11. I was a bit late in stitching it together, so it appeared in the middle of the photo stream and people missed it. P.S. I also took a [...]

Debconf 11 – postmortem

Another year, another Debconf and now it is passed. Pictures are processes and all are now uploaded. We are still missing 25 names in the Debconf 11 group photo. With 265 people and 86 Mpix it is the highest resolution image we have had so far (Spain image had a bit more pixels, but a [...]

Debconf 11 – the group picture

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 [...]

Travelling to Debconf11

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 [...]

Debconf11

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.

Social distribution

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 [...]

Debconf10 group photo

Please add your name and names of people you recognise here. Update: 14 people left! The rest of my DebConf10 photos are in my DebConf10 Flickr set. 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 [...]

Debcamp 10 – the early days

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 [...]

Hacker ‘Neo’ caught in Latvia

A scandal has been brewing in Latvia over the last half year and yesterday the activity spiked shocking the media and some IT people in the country. I’ll go back and explain what happened first, what is happening now and why this could have a heavy impact on IT and journalists in Latvia. At the [...]

Debconf9 photos and banter

A bit more than a week after Debconf9 ended here is a post summarising what I remember about it – for myself to look back to later, for others that were there for a good memory, for those that were not there for insight and for organisers of future Debconfs to improve. Let’s start with [...]
