GUADEC – So my first year at GUADEC was so amazing. Had a superb time. Some of the talks I found especially interesting, cool and funny were:
– Robert’s talk about Gnome, memory, and some new kernel abilities we should be using
– Owen’s talk about Cario
– Nat’s lightning talks
– Glynn’s 101 things to know about Gnome.
So I met so many really cool hackers at GUADEC this year and as Ross points out, Bastien needs a new hackergotchi. I like Ross’s knocked up replacement – it seems much more fitting 

I need a hackergotchi – perhaps you could do the honors Ross? 
Also, managed to bag a Nokia 770 – they are uber cool!
While at the GUADEC, I managed to get some bugs fixed during the hackfest too. Overall a wiked conference.
Gnome Bounties – Good news about Google splashing out for Gnome bounties.
