Mini FAmSCo Meeting on Fosdem 2012

literally in the last minutes of Fosdem, 3 of the FAmSCo Members - Gerard, Christoph and Zoltan - gathered for some minutes ;)

Fosdem Day 2 started

people slowly start to show up on the Fedora Booth - a lot hangovers ;)

unfortunately i missed a talk that i wanted to see - "threat modelling revolutionized"  :(

Fosdem update

first day on Fosdem is over, and besides the long ways this year (10minute-walk from one room to another), all is fine. The best about Fosdem is to meet all the Fedora People and also all the other Project Contributors, it feels a lot like a very large FUDCon to meet all the well known faces that you know since years.

FOSDEM 2012 started - Fitness Program included

Fosdem started - even if nothing was really prepared like every year we have a booth which can be recognized as a Fedora Booth ;) -  but, no media this year!!!




This year we stay  in the K - Building and to find our space, they send us around, carrying all the booth decoration stuff - ... pfuh ...

Happy to meet Nicu, Sirko, Peter and Zoltan who played with a small Nanonode Hardware after the booth setup

FOSDEM 2012 (minus)1

a few days before Christoph Wickert asked me, to support during Fosdem at a CrossDistro Ambassador/LoCo/... round table session on Fosdem, about "Working with contributor communities" - which is initiated by Pascal Bleser and Kostas Koudaras from OpenSUSE - and which will happen on Sunday in H.1301.
Fedora is asked to present the Ambassador program within 5 minutes and i prepared some slides - the numbers for budget and event-distributon are from 2010 - we lost much transparence in 2011 - i was a bit frustrated to find that out. Here are the slides which will become part of the session - please ping me for enhancements:

i arrived in Brussels around 2pm today and went with Christoph Wickert straight to the FAD at the A La Mort Subite. Some old friends - Gerold, Spot, Jeroen - were already present ;) - but also some new faces and i was happy to meet Kashyap Chamarthy again which i met the first time on FUDCon Pune in 2011.

The most important result from that gathering is that we got a quorum to recommend FUDCon Budapest as the next FUDCon Location ;)

Leaving the FAD we found ourselfs in a snow chaos which was the first snow for our indian visitor.

We all went for Dinner at the Drug Opera

where we had really decent Food - and Jeroen - keeping the tradition to eat raw meat at Fosdem had his "Steak (Tartare) American"  - do not ask me why they call it american?

closed the evening with a short visit to the Delirium Cafe and later on the Renaissance Hotel Bar ;)
