xkcd author uses gnome ! Check out that awesome terminal screenshot.
Lugradio is crude, in a delightful sort of way. Today saw Matt doing an hour-long gong-a-thon... in a thong. Not a pretty sight.
The Everybody loves Eric Raymond guy is here as well, so I finally bought a "Knuth is my homeboy" shirt. He did a nice gong talk about his characters with facts that were probably true. Too bad he was cut short, he didn't even get to Eric.
Lugradio has a completely different vibe than any other conference I've ever been to, for better or for worse. I had to improvise a little on my talk given that the projector screen was maybe two meters across, and with the sun it wasn't very visible anyway, but still got a good amount of questions, which I like. On the other hand I will be happy to give a less technical/freeer talk at GUADEC. I'm surprised to see the party being rather mellow though, no ruffians in this country at all! Just as well, I need to seriously catch up on sleep....
