FOSSComm day 1
-
Returned from a full day of fun with hackers from all around the Greek open source community. Had some great discussions. And flames.
Slept at 6:30am, finishing off some details for Indifex’s business plan to present to some good investors. After an hour’s of sleep and a cold shower, we were ready to go. Picked up John and drove the lovely route from Patras to Larissa, passing the Rion-Antirrion Bridge, following the south coastline of the Greek mainland, passing through Bralos and on to Lamia, Volos and Larissa. The trip was great, and the weather was perfect.
The day was full of catch-ups with Greek open source hackers, evangelists and enthusiasts. Talked a lot about Fedora, what we value in the community and why what we do matters. Had the chance to update a few folks about Transifex’s progress, and discuss how it could be used in other distributions and projects too.
Oh, I met some trolls too. Rare species to meet in real life, not always a pleasant acquaintance, but always one to remember. ;-)
As usual with any Greek happening, this too ended up at a tavern. Our event organizers booked us a tsipouro place, where you order alochol and the meze dishes continue to come until you ask them not to. Dangerous stuff.
Off to polish my presentation for tomorrow now and get some sleep.
