Recently, I’ve attended the first ever OpenPGP conference in Cologne, Germany. It’s amazing how 25 years of OpenPGP have passed without any conference for bringing various OpenPGP people together. I attended rather spontaneously, but I’m happy to have gone. It’s been very insightful and I’m really glad to have met many interesting people. Werner himself … Continue reading First OpenPGP.conf 2016 in Cologne, Germany
A couple of weeks ago, I attended the mrmcds in Darmstadt, Germany. Just like I did the last years. Like the years before, the conference was nicely themed. This year, the theme was all things medical. So speakers were given doctors’ coats, conference staff were running around like surgeons, alcohol could be had intravenously … … Continue reading Talking at mrmcds 2016 in Darmstadt, Germany
I was invited to this year’s OpenSuSE Conference in Nuremberg, Germany. I had been to that event two years ago in Dubrovnik which I enjoyed so much that I was eager to go again. The venue was very easy to find due to poster hanging everywhere. The flow of information was good in general. That … Continue reading Talking at OpenSuSE Conference 2016 in Nuremberg
It’s spring time and that means it’s time for GNOME.Asia Summit! This year’s edition took place in New Delhi, India. This years makes five years after the initial GNOME 3.0 release. In fact, an important releases planning hackfest happened five years ago in India, so it’s been a somewhat remarkable date. The conference felt a … Continue reading Talking at GNOME.Asia Summit 2016 in New Delhi, India
This year I was able to attend this year’s FOSSASIA in Singapore. It’s quite a decently sized event with more than 150 speakers and more than 1000 people attending. Given the number of speakers you can infer that there was an insane number of talks in the two and a half day of the conference. … Continue reading Talking at FOSSASIA 2016 in Singapore
I attended this year’s mrmcd, a cozy conference in Darmstadt, Germany. As in the previous years, it’s a 350 people event with a relaxed atmosphere. I really enjoy going to these mid-size events with a decent selection of talks and attentive guests. The conference was opened by Paolo Ferri’s Keynote. He is from the ESA … Continue reading mrmcd 2015
As in the last few years, the DFN Workshop happened in Hamburg, Germany. The conference was keynoted by Steven Le Blond who talked about targeted attacks, e.g. against dissidents. He mentioned that he already presented the content at the USENIX security conference which some people think is very excellent. He first showed how he used … Continue reading DFN Workshop 2015
It’s winter again and it was clear that FOSDEM was coming. However, preparation fell through the cracks, at least for me, mainly because my personal life is fast-paced at the moment. We had a table again, and our EventsBox, which is filled with goodness to demo GNOME, made its way from Gothenburg, where I actually … Continue reading FOSDEM 2015
I was glad to be invited to FSONCS 2014 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Remember that this is also the place for next year’s GUADEC! This year’s FSCONS was attended by around 150 people or so. I guess it was a bit less. That might not sound like a lot, but it’s a very cool event with … Continue reading GNOME at FSCONS14 in Gothenburg, Sweden
The 19th DFN Workshop happened again *yay* and I was lucky enough to be able to take part 🙂 After last year we all knew the venue and it’s great. The hotel is very professional and the receptions are very good. The conference room itself is very spacious and well equipped for having a couple … Continue reading 19th DFN Workshop 2012
