I just experimented with what I think was a fairly successful way to run a BOF, for a mini-marketing discussion at the GNOME Summit. I sat off to the side of the room (not in the front/center) and jotted notes frantically on tomboy, interlinking as I went, with the tomboy notes projected on the big [...]

07-Oct-04Nice dinner tonight at East Coast Grill with Anna, Dan Winship, Tigert, Jakub, and a host of others. I’d never been before- fun place. Inman Square, as Nat said, really is a pretty happening place these days. Also, my drink had a flaming volcano in the middle of it. And that can’t be a bad [...]

05-Oct-04Some summit bits: I’m glad to see some folks are picking up on the Speed Talks. We need more :) It is pretty impressive that we can muster 50 people total on very, very short notice, as well. Obviously we need more warning for the next one, though, so people can make it from further [...]

05-Oct-04Forgot to mention last night in the blog that there is space in the schedule for speed talks- hope that we can get about a dozen people to talk for 2-5 minutes and maybe spark some interest in their corner of gnome that isn’t being covered elsewhere.

I hope we can find the right balance between the all-too formal first summit (and recent guadecs) and the totally too informal NYC Summit. Everyone, go [...]

04-Oct-04Sadly, no chance to play with the tinderbox this weekend. Some weird build errors ATM: control-center seems to want a version of libxklavier that doesn’t exist (wants 1.1, says it has 1.0, but I’m pulling from HEAD…). Also looks like Jeff did the right thing (tried to get people to test new code) but it [...]

03-Oct-04Currently recovering after being attacked by three maple-syrup coated oatmeal-apple waffles. Tough life.
Hope to spend a little time tonight organizing the schedule page of the Summit Wiki. Please continue to update the ‘Tell Us You’re Coming‘ page- it’s the closest we’ll have to registration this time around. In talking with Tim, if the location is [...]
