Milan, West Coast and Freiburg
We gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go and a short time to get there
-- East Bound and Down, Jerry Reed
So, the LibreOffice conference in Milan is just past us and it was awesome -- if you missed it, Kohei posted a very nice set of pictures from that event. If you are interested in the talks too, you can find both streams and slides for almost all the talks. One other talk from the conference, I would like to hightlight is Michael Stahls gbuild talk -- it was a long journey from when gbuild was still a pet project of mine, but now as the migration is now finished, things unlocked and we (*) are now really reaping what we sowed.
Almost, as e.g. while I was able and eager to send the slides for the lightning talks I moderated, I somehow forgot to do so for my own slides for my talk on tb3. It will hopefully end up on the conference site at some point, but for now I uploaded at at speakerdeck (with the odp originals on the wiki and here):
I didnt bring my own camera and thus missed making pictures during e.g. the lively QA roundtable, but Rob made sure that we get at least some photo on the last day (when many were already on the way home):
So in the next days, I will be hopping over atlantic for a visit to the west coast, just to return to turn "eastbound and down, loaded up and trucking" to be at Freiburg for the Hackfest again. A big Thank You in advance to Tauon and Florian Effenberger, who took over a lot of my organizer duties on this one due to this tight scheduling. Oh, and of course, I hope to see many of you there!
(*) actually they: By far, the most awesome stuff is now done by others than me
