Linuxtag: to the limits
Manning the booth by day and rocking out with FSFE and friends by night, Linuxtag took me to my limits. A lot of people were interested in our work and the Fellowship. Reflecting the current status of the issue, software patents in Europe were also a focal point of interest.
Especially people running small or medium-sized Free Software companies were really worried. Ciaran O’Riordan, our permanent representative in Brussels, took a day off from the European parlament to check by. By now, he’s already on the train back.
The parties at night were really great. Reinhard had brought a guitar, Matthias had one as well, and soon the whole FSFE team – we probably had more people here than Microsoft – was singing and shouting. As I got thirsty in the process, I found it very difficult to wake up in the mornings. Pictures coming soon.
After this extremely busy week, I am looking forward to going home, seeing my girlfriend and relax for a few days.
