Changing of the Guard (1)
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009Last weekend was the annual general meeting of the Free Software Foundation Europe, which was the reason I was in Spain. It was very much fun to meet the people who have been working on Free Software at a European level for the past eight years. Much like every Free Software conference or meeting I’ve ever attended, there was a “work hard, play hard” atmosphere. Plans for the next year were made, schedules set and many tales were told. The main result of the meeting is the changing of the guard: after eight years, Georg Greve has stepped down as president of the FSFE. I cannot hope two write something to compete with the words of thanks for Georg’s work pronounced elsewhere. So I will round up with some typical KDE words: “dude!”
