I just made it back to Central Europe and hereby post some random bits and pieces on those last days that I spent in Bangalore/India on a software project that I like.
Looks like we created some confusion on Friday by sticking to a certain date. I am sorry for that…, not‽
The magic vuntz fixed my non-booting laptop. He certainly has super powers.
For the records, I spent the last day of the Gnome.Asia hackfest on Friday mostly with some smaller stuff and GNOME 3.0 release notes related issues.
Indian food: ♥
After India won the cricket world championship I decided to increase my number of talks on random topics at the GNOME.Asia conference for yet another time. Here are some slides in PDF format under CC BY-NC-SA (ODP files also available in that folder):
- Contributing To Gnome User Documentation
- Contributing To Gnome Translation
- Bugsquadding in GNOME (I bought this talk for little money from a friendly Indian man that I met on the interwebs)
(You can find further presentation slides here.)
A great pleasure to finally meet Radhika and Atul in person after all those years of contact!
Unfortunately there was no video recording, otherwise I’d recommend to watch Chandni‘s talk about Contributions made by a newbie to Empathy. It was insightful and quite refreshing because of its “Just do it!” attitude.
And of course a big Thank you to the organizers!
Yes andre, the event was really superb althought i regret for not able to attend chandni’s talk. I wish there was a video recorded.
Your also right about Vincent having really a charm to impress folks.
I am awaiting for the next summit next year :)
On Saturday India won the world cup, so you would be knowing why your talk “Contributing To Gnome User Documentation” had a low turnout. Most of them were probably having a hangover.
I regret missing Chandani’s talk. It must have been inspiring.
..and BTW that picture of Food is surely from Barbequenation, Jayanagar. Is it? Great that you loved Indian food. :)
@Manish: Yes, it was Barbequenation :)
