[ApacheCon] MIKE IS BACK!

Oh god, what a surprise! I arrived this morning at our preliminary booth at ApacheCon, to find, that alphascorpii left a nice surprise for us there, when she picked our exhibitor passes up yesterday:

Notice the
mike poster on the wall!

Yes, there is a Mike poster to be seen in the background. No, it is not the one, that got stolen with all the other hardware all the other hardware stuff from last CeBIT. No, alphascorpii made a brand new one, just from the bad quality jpg on Joeys infodrom... Thanks very much!

Uhm... after reading what she was getting through to bring it here, I love her more, than I did ;)

[DebConf] It's done!

If you read this, it means two things: Firstly DebConf-5 ended. Secondly I survived my flight back.

After 3 bigger injuries, 9 days DebCamp, 7 days DebConf, 54 sessions (which went all in all surprisingly well), 150 Hectoliters coffee (and other caffeinated drinks), 250 Hectoliters of beer and 300 Hectoliters of milk (or what fins call milk) and several stars, it's now finished. Time to say thank you!

First thanks goes of course to the organizers of the event from all over the world as well as the local team from Linux-Aktivaattori. You really made DebConf-5 a very special, funy and informative event. Second thanks to the sponsors, who made it all possible.

Last not least a special thanks to all those poor volunteers, running around under the burning sun in their black T-Shirts for providing even more important resources than money: Their time. Doing every jobs that needed to be done, ranging from guiding people in the right direction to cleaning up the dorms. Some of them didn't spared themselves by working more than 20 hours a day - and that for the entire event.

Dear volunteers, if this is still on planet when you awake from your well deserved rest:

YOU

WERE

THE

HEART

OF

DEBCONF!

A

COUPLE

OF

THOUSANDS

THANKS

!

See you 2006 in .mx.
