Further days

I actually planned to write a few lines every day while I am at linuxtag, but ... oh well. I was too busy :) However, I promised to write a little LT report and I am still planning to do so. I'll link it here when it's done.

(July 17th, 2005)
PS: Joey maintains a list of people who put pictures of LinuxTag online.
PPS: I finally put up a small report. Not a fully diary, just a few things concerning the Debian-Women Project

First day

I'm in Karlsruhe and I am online :D

The journey was rather nice, ICE of course freezing cold, as usual, but I sat next to a really cool
South Korean net reporter who shared the homemade sushi his wife made for him with me. Delicious!!! Hmmm, best I ever had. :)
After arriving at Linuxtag I first tracked down Fernanda to get my Debian-Women T-shirt. It looks absolutely awsome! Pictures will follow ... The also gave me a FSFLA shirt. Thanks again :)

The rest of the day was spent hacking, talking and meeting new people (or rather people I knew from irc who now finally have a *face*). In the evening I got the promised make tutorial from youam. It was quite fun and I feel much more enlightened now :-)
Due to the really warm weather we decided not to sleep in the gym but on the stands outside. Turned out to be a good idea, the night was pleasantly cool, however we hadn't considered the *bright morning sun* that woke us/me up at 6am (one hour before we'd actually planned to geti up ... oh well ...)

It is now Thursday morning I lack a bit of sleep - but still within normal parameters ;) - had a good breakfast and am about five hours away from my talk and still waiting for the adrenaline to kick in.

Wish me luck!!

Everything ready

One day left until Linuxtag! :) I am really looking forward to going to Karlsruhe now. Everything is prepared, I've got the slides for my talk about the Debian Women project ready and will put them online right after the talk (We don't want to spoil the surprise, do we? ;))

I'll leave for Karlsruhe on Wednesday afternoon. Unfortunately I couldn't find anyone else to travel with me, so I'll just have to take a good book with me. (I recently started reading Dan Simmons' Ilium and it seems promising ...)

I have a *huge* list of people I want to meet, talks I want to hear, parties I want to go to ... I am especially looking forward to meeting all the d-w people. Youam promised me a little make tutorial and I have to meet Bernhard for an interview. And then there are of course my (first!) booth shifts!

Exciting times!!!

PS: I'll take my little laptop with me and I'll try to give some updates while in Karlsruhe. Whatch this space ;)

Linuxtag - Where com meets org

The LinuxDay is slowly coming closer. LinuxWiki offers a Coordination Page which has among other things a car pool. The Debian people are planning to have a special DebianDay with several Debian specific talks.
