After getting back from FOSDEM and sleeping for 10 hours I am finally back in the land of the living ;-)

FOSDEM was great, I had a lot of fun and was able to connect some more IRC nicks to their real life faces.

So what did I learn this weekend?

  1. When traveling with Nikolaj always be prepared for something involving a bomb.
  2. Mike looks/is awesome.
  3. There was an awful lot of ambulances in Brussels compared to every other city I have ever been to.
  4. Kriek tastes delicious.
  5. Statistics on KDE commits can tell you a lot about its community. Thanks to Paul for showing me some of his work. It was insightful and will be very useful for me for Amarok.
  6. I need to get started again on packaging for Kubuntu.
  7. KDE people rock! (Ok right. I knew that one long before ;-) )

Thanks to the KDE people for letting Amarok have a good share of the booth. We love you :)
Sorry I was not able to say goodbye to everyone yesterday. Big KDE-hug to all of you.

PS: Everyone who took pictures please share.

You can find even more interesting Amarok-related (and KDE in general) research on my blog.

At aKademy 2007, I just left Glasgow airport when someone decided to try and blow it up, and this time, Linda and I got stuck in a train because there was a bomb threat against the next ( central ) station.

Nous sommes partis de Bruxelles…

In the interest of supporting the multilingual community of Brussels, today’s post title is brought to you in (possibly bad) French. After a night’s sleep I ought to be able to distinguish between Haralds and Nikolajs. Lydia mentions the bomb which i…
