Back from FOSS.IN!
December 4th, 2005Wow. A great time was had at FOSS.IN/2005. I have spoken to many cool people, and I’m glad that I decided to speak at the conference this time. It was truly a memorable experience. I will post the pictures soon, so stay tuned. I even met Alan Cox, chatted with him (ok, I admit, I wanted a picture with him) though I don’t know too much about the linux kernel.
I met some very interesting people like Venkat, and had a great time chatting with them. My only regret is that I couldn’t attend the Gentoo track – I was looking forward to knowing the distro better. The Ruby track and Gentoo track were more or less on the same time, so I couldn’t go. Sigh, maybe next time.
Though I’m very satisfied with Debian, and I use it practically everywhere, I’m still looking out for better distros. Debian has it’s own drawbacks. That reminds me – I just upgraded the viamentis.com machine. The site feels much snappier now. Thank God. I don’t have to upgrade my virtual machine from Bytemark right now. They are an excellent hosting option if you want full-root access linux machines at reasonable rates. They’re currently run user-mode-linux, I think they’re trying out Xen too. Go check them out.
Phew… life feels a lot less hectic now, the last month has been totally crazy. Lots of work piled up, but shouldn’t take me more than a week to blow it all away. Okie, come back for the FOSS.IN pictures. Me back to work. Thanks to all the people who met me up at FOSS.IN. It was a joy meeting you all guys.
