I was back home last week after GUADEC in A Coruña, and a week’s vacation after that.
Another post-GUADEC wrap-up. And I’m still processing the many amounts of information,
ideas and discussions in my head. A few things worth sharing:
First it’s the best planned GUADEC in modern history, everything worked properly, thanks for the organizers.
About the talk, the keynote on first day is ‘The Tor Project’ which I never heard it before, I feel it’s very useful in China, :), cause we have GFW,
and I talked with Jacob in ‘Welcome Cocktail Party’ about let the NetworkManager support the tor project, it’s a good idea and I’ll find some time to dig it.
Another interesting talk ‘GNOME online accounts: for users and hackers’ triggers me that we should add support for weibo which is very famous ‘twitter’ in China.
‘How to fix a font’ on 3rd day is very fresh for me, and I ask Willis an font issue which I met in work why Acroread font display unnormal,
but unfortunly not got the solution, 🙂
Another touching talk was the History of GNOME talk given by Jonathan Blandford, Federico Mena Quintero and Dave Mason on last day.
They told the story of the early days of GNOME, and got much applause when showing some dead contributors, it’s really moving.
There are so many topics which I enjoyed, I don’t want to describe each one in here, in short I learned a lot of top-edge technology, such as the GNOME OS, Wayland, openShift and gnome-box.
And in this year GUADEC, I applied an volunteers to be a Session Chairman, it’s a great experience for myself.
It’s very happy to take part in Football and basketball match, and knew a lot of good team player.
After the main conference days, the BoFs were up. The one I attended was the GNOME OS session.
Here I met some old friends and also new one, I’ll share some picture below.
Also you can find more pictures from here .
At last, a very big thanks to the GNOME Foundation and SUSE for sponsoring my trip.
