Here I am, at Crete, participating in the first ever Greek Coding Camp.
We’re at Paleochora, a small town in South Crete. At the moment we’re 10 people, and today a few more are coming along. We’re sitting at the camping’s cafe/restaurant, under mulberry trees and the loud sound of with birds and insects hacking on open source.
We arrived here in the morning after a good trip with the boat from Piraeus. Good thing we caught the bus which came directly from Patras, entered the boat and dropped us in the city center of Chania. We went to the village home of alup, eaten a rich breakfast from his parents which included the local specialty of Bougatsa. Yummy!
Four guys together with camping equipment managed entered the tiny car of local guru hoo2 and traveled to Paleochora. The day started with the usual laughter overdose with the local group.
The teams formed into projects which can last a few days. For today, we have the following projects:
- Translation of 45+ standard Open Office Templates
- Creation of Greek-specific OOo Templates (eg. υπεύθυνη δήλωση)
- Openoffice Testing Greek Build
- Transifex workflow support for translations. Development taking place on our bitbucket ‘reviews’ branch.
- Bugfix in Xorg for letter ‘ς’
Lunch included a local specialty, τσιγαριαστό αρνί (special lamb in casserole with olive oil and herbs) and, of course, a healthy dose of Tsikoudia. Afternoon session was on quite soon.
