I haven’t blogged for a while since I’ve been very busy and and I was too tired to blog or to do any actual work on my projects. This was my 1st time at the UDS and my 1st time abroad. It was a dream-like experience and went far beyond my expectations. I have met lots of interesting people ranging from developers to forum staff. We discussed about the new features in Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 and, as a result, a few non-trivial tasks have been added to my todo list (I’ll blog about this later). The sessions were very well organised and the topics were extremely interesting but unfortunately I couldn’t attend them all at the same time.

We had a lot of fun and I would like to thank all the people who contributed to make this UDS rock.

In case you haven’t noticed, I appeared in some photos on flicker and in some blog posts:

Here are a few photos taken with Emanuele Gentili’s camera with some very interesting people.

Emanuele, Rob Savoye (the GNASH guy) and myself (a special thanks to MaryBeth Panagos – the girl in the background – who provided the nice “Gnash Cygnal” logo).

WARNING: talking to Rob about programming will dramatically decrease your self-esteem. He’s a genius.

A creepy guy on the 3rd floor… 😛
