FOSDEM. Day 1, Part 1
25 Feb 2006 01:15 PM / Filed in: I.T.
Everything went smoothly after our arrival to Brussels Midi. Well almost. At 12:30PM, there is still no stable Internet connection. Let's face it: the FOSDEM staff haven't learned anything from the previous years.
Every year, we hope we'll have an Internet connection upon our arrival. Every year we grow frustrated. Hell! This is an Open Source and free software meeting and all the projects here rely heavily on the Internet to get things done. And yet, it didn't sink in with the FOSDEM staff. Even after all these years. It's simply beyond my understanding.
On the OpenBSD booth front, there a few developers: Reyk Flöter, Uwe Stühler, Nikolay Sturm, Thierry Deval, Matthieu Herrb (who disappeared soon after we arrived), Marc Balmer, Alexandre Anriot, Xavier Santolaria (who went to play hockey for the afternoon), Otto Moerbeek, and -of course- Wim. Dimitar, our official beer supplier, also showed up for a few minutes.
I've taken pictures and I will upload them as soon as I get .... a stable Internet connection.
