Twenty years ago today, Linus Torvalds posted to the comp.os.minix newsgroup about his new Free operating system, Linux.

Come celebrate 20 years of Linux at Ohio LinuxFest!

Earlier this month, for the first time in 4 years I unchecked the box "I want to attend this conference" in Penta, the DebConf conference management system. Despite this, I *do* want to attend DebConf11 but unfortunately due to work obligations I'm unable to attend this year. Hope to see you in Nicaragua!

Despite this being my 4th DebConf, I hadn't ever played Mao until yesterday evening. I had a great time, although I don't think I understand the game any more than I did as an outside observer over these past years :)

I'm looking forward to playing again - feel free to invite me to a game if you see me around DebConf10!

I've been fortunate enough to be able to attend every DebConf since DebConf 7 in Edinburgh, Scotland. This year is the first DebConf ever held in the USA - it'd be a shame if I couldn't attend since it's relatively close :) I'm extremely busy at work and thus won't be able to participate in DebCamp like I originally planned but I did get approval to go to DebConf10 itself so:

Hope to see you there!

Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

I made it back to Indianapolis yesterday evening around 9:00 PM EDT (0300 CEST, 0100 UTC). The only issue I had with the entire trip home was with the last leg of my trip (DTW-IND) and that was just a 30 minute delay and the airline moving the flight to a different gate 3-4 times. Fortunately, Orbitz sent me an SMS with each gate change so I was able to learn of the gate change despite my reduced visual acuity. I had no trouble navigating MAD or AMS (or DTW or IND for that matter).

I made it to DebConf 9 last Thursday evening without issue and it was looking like this would be my first DebConf where nothing went majorly wrong for me. Actually, so far nothing has gone majorly wrong, only moderately :)

I'm sitting in the gate area at IND waiting to catch my flight to ATL, the first leg in my trip to DebConf 9, my third DebConf. Unlike the previous two trips to DebConf, it's beginning to look like this will be a hassle-free and trouble-free trip. That'll be a refreshing change if it turns out to be true. Hope to see you in Cáceres!

I had a great time at DebConf 7 in Edinburgh and DebConf 8 in Mar Del Plata. This year I've gotten more involved in organizing DebConf and I'm looking forward to another excellent time at DebConf 9. See you in Cáceres!
