Marching South

Flight leaves tomorrow 6 AM
Lots of mini-news so time for dot points
Anyway welcome to the new Planet readers 😀
Ok it’s Saturday morning so the conf is officially ended. But we still have the open day the Linux Australia AGM, and a couple other things to do while we are here.
The conference was great, it’s really all about meeting people and networking than anything technical, the talks presentations are all bonuses. But it’s really nice to sit down ask people what they are working on, how long they have been around, how they found linux nearly always has a good story to it.
I’ll have to back blog post to share some of my thoughts about the technical conference.
looking forward to going home and sleeping in my own bed.
but also to get started on so many ideas which i’ve rendering in my head while being here.
Ok I’m really behide in writting anything which looks like a blog entry. But the conference is just that busy and good i really haven’t had time.
So far the only real annoyances is the keynote venue is just a hall with chairs. so if your in the back you really can’t see that well.
Anyway i’ll write more when there is a session I don’t want to go to ……
First day at linux.conf.au and i’m at the Embedded miniconf not really because i’m overly interested or knowledgeable. But kym manly comes for the conference for the embedded miniconf so i join her.
So far the first talk was from a artist compared to an engineer, so it wasn’t techincal but there where plenty of “cool” things to show aswell as how to obtain huge amounts of money for research apparently selling a robot as “art” works wonderfully
the other talks have been interesting, one was way too technical for me. I was about making mirco-kernels i had no idea what was going on.
Kyms still got show and tell to go and it looks like it would be a good session. And day all round.
We flew into Melbourne taking the new Tiger air ways.
Frankly for $25 dollars a ticket we expected a lot worse. The flight was on time it wasn’t crowded.
The only disappointment was when we got into Melbourne airport it has a cow shed for a terminal, basically they converted part of the car park, put a tin roof on it, fenced it off and put a baggage carousel around it.
All in all likely to flight with tiger again .
