GUADEC 2001 : Down memory lane

Posted on by

Came accross a photo album today from GUADEC 2001 in Copenhagen. It was the first GUADEC I attended (the second ever) and it was quite fun to see the photos again. Not to many photos of me in this gallery, closest I found was a group shot of myself and others listening to a gnome-print talk, where I can be spotted wearing a blue shirt, but partly covered by my friend Owen-Frasier Green.

An interesting photo though is this one, showing what was actually the first time the GStreamer team got together in person. In this photo you can see the blue shirted back of Wim Taymans, a head scraching Erik Walthinsen and a red cap wearing Zaheer Merali in addition to Wim’s girlfriend at the time, Michelle and the creator of aRTS, Stefan Westerfeld.

That said I think the best GStreamer photo from GUADEC in Copenhagen is still this one:

Anyway, I hope to see as many of you as possible at this years GUADEC in A Coruna, Spain. And who knows, maybe there will be some fun photos taken to look at 11 years from now :). I am especially looking forward to talks from my fellow Red Hatters here at the Brno office, I think we do a lot of cool stuff here in Brno and it will be good to let the world know about it.

  3. That was my first GUADEC too… sadly it looks like last year’s will be my last one for a while, as I haven’t really worked on any GNOME stuff for a couple of years now.

  4. I just found a T-shirt from Guadec2001 and had it on during the weekend.

    GUADEC2001 had videorecordings and some of them have been online for many years. Kristen.
