Pre-FOSDEM Fun

I'm arriving in Brussels a few days early, getting the old internal clock adjusted and catching up with some old friends. Most of the core team for Melange will also be coming to FOSDEM, so I'll be spending most of my time haunting the halls with them. If you have have questions about the new workflow application for Google Summer of Code come and find me and I'll introduce you to the development team.

On Friday, 6 February. I'll be heading to the EduCamp organized by the Mozilla Foundation folks. Should be a great meetup for those of us interested in seeing FLOSS development added to the standard academic curricula, as well as a chance for us to talk about more ways to scale some of the burgeoning efforts in this area. Even if you can't attend the camp, I'd encourage you to follow our discussions on the wiki amd contribute your thoughts. For those interested in learning more about some of the FLOSS in Education initiatives out there, there's an excellent list of resources available, also courtesy of Mozillans.

And let's not forget the traditional Friday night beer blast. I'm usally not a big fan of beer, but watching the improved beer distribution algorithm - version 3.1 to be exact - in action should make for one exciting evening. Looking forward to dusting off those old armchair anthropologist skills....
