We arrived, very relaxed, yesterday at 21:00 thanks to our awesome openSUSE Bus. Its a nice to fall out of the Office, into the bus and then crawl out of it again in front of the Hotel. It’s more comfy than any plane I have ever been on and we used the time well. Lot’s of socializing, Beer and Pavol even ran a pretzel-stick eating contest (guess who won! yours truly). I think this will be our mode of travel for the next FOSDEMs to come. After everybody checked in we went to the FOSDEM beer event which was packed, as every year but quite a blast. I met up with Michael Meeks, Greg, Pascal and all the other openSUSE people.
And now the talks are underway and the hallway is more and more empty. So I thought its time for a short recap. The first hours today went great. We arrived at the venue at 9 and were setup by 9:30 thanks to our new and shiny TouchSmart desktops. Thank you HP! Apparently people love to touch stuff so the booth is always visited and people play around. We also give out free T-Shirts to everyone participating in our newest survey. So all in all everything is going smoothly.
