The GNOME developer experience hackfest starts tomorrow and we at Endocode are happy to be hosting. This afternoon we readied the office and things are just about finished.

GUADEC: …and thanks for all the fish

Aug

2013

It’s my last day at GUADEC taking place in Brno, Czech Republic this year. As I’ve been preoccupied for the past year or so, I’ve not had much time to work on GNOME or any other free-time projects. So, I’ve been running in user-mode with respect to GNOME for a while. Coming to GUADEC was ...

One Berlin Open Source Meetup down, …more to come? 1

Aug

2012

We had a great turn out last night for the 1st Berlin Open Source Meetup. I counted 30 people at one point but I suspect there were a couple folks fetching more beer, so it’s safe to say we had just over 30 people attend. There were, of course, a number of the usual suspects. ...

Well, I’ve been back from the 2012 edition of GUADEC for a few days now. Below are some impressions I took away from a week of talks, drinks, beach and friends.

Berlin has a large and active open source community and it’s about time we all get together for some beers. So while chatting at GUADEC, Lennart and I decided we should organize such an event. The extent of our organization has been to choose a time (Aug 19th @ 7pm), a place (Prater), and create ...
