Back from DebConf7

Ok, I’m officially back. Yup, when you have a meeting just over your regular lunch time and are suddenly seen as the guy who will fix the institute’s video needs just because you worked manning cameras with the amazing DC7 video team, it just means you are back home. Lets see how several projects that have sprang up in the last couple of weeks (both at DebConf and at work) start materializing.
Anyway… DebConf was great. Just great. This time I had time both to feel I was useful and productive (mainly doing video-related stuff, although on some other points as well), to attend several interesting talks (although manning the camera did not leave my attention as complete as I would have liked), to have several nice chats, to play a good couple of hands of Mao - Hell, thanks to Kitty, I managed even to have some chats while having a hand of Mao!
Of course, I was not productive neither with my Real Life duties nor with with the Debian stuff I wanted to hack on - In fact, the most productive period during the two and a half weeks I was away (excluding probably the two days I spent understanding/hacking Pentabarf with Damián) was the flight back - During the ~12hr we were on the air, I managed to read the second half of my book, to review two chapters for a thesis, to write a (really simple) article and to work on another one.
Anyway… Thanks to everybody. I had a great time, and am only looking forward towards Argentina.
Ah, and I also got The Debconf Flu.

Re: Back from DebConf7

Hi Gunnar, good to see you are now a ‘video guru’

(get the shirt saying ‘no, I will not fix your video’) ;-)

Maybe there should be a warning:

Debconf is a breeding ground for the flu!

Everybody who goes to it, gets the Debconf flu and there is no cure! (well, except going back next year–sounds like the ‘pan far’ of Mr. Spock)
