I completely agree about the quality of the beer and of the astonishing event that was FOSDEM. I went to more talks than Ken (since I don't have the stamina or skills to be an interviewing juggernaut :) but not as many as I wanted. Quite a few suffered from demand *far* exceeding room capacity, and I was too slow to get in. Although I did meet nido, and Ken of course, I failed to meet up with any other HPR listeners (sorry Philippe). However, I did meet a large number of people and got to check their passports and other IDs while they checked mine. This was at the key signing "party" on Sunday afternoon, which was a strange and wonderful event that lasted several hours. Now to do my key signing "homework" and record a show about it all :-) Dave -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJS7/FDAAoJEEglyQpFdYohokEQAIvQN+JFum9QLJSv9d1enLF1 pa0GIRa0W3S6Zadv/zi0EqN9fE/s37NMssg5fnxe/vMVrAoJ8GXLCieoAXQ930Pp Itf9qq2O2/iGn6ZkxUJ1E1/2mQujzTM2aymGqfxoUtw+OyEePbPtEPUqQ7wJMxmX YoHY5sdku1ypIyq0scQeviAXMi0Y2NMLzzByJcDptTHmFM0rlCaSAYidBWStJkhq 1p3E8H7r3dUfsWsd/5uUucedSm2Zi4qiyjMaaGiVQ9rNT41QZAg9TvSzcTFjHNNZ 7fsLiiv0j1Yfz9aaKb97TBuOpUWQ6lrf2xYYTNsoUNFdSVUYzZF4KYYm8CwIIY8H Knx3A0uxnoOuWltYSFbhW0WsLDebLbmLnC8bPepABXcBNZywSPdYXa7ONG2k49jy ytfNJrrANUoQpGJpkh1SI9u+gCIFMBLUnsk4j3ebT2EqbRVEAdiKws8QUgdu32Lx lfQNVbsptghDQsXHKmzE5xxdWuyw84pRR5RCvQNfqbXJlw5XnyT5X2URgwGpmlXx tejtA2c4diU2FilzXz5/uzSgJX7aTCtKdz4cSzhlwkblEcHwtkIlYXZtMYyUU5ci zzwm8/E1lrRi1RCR0nIk288yL1zB2agUQsmMZd2EKR6njVUUTMhRawjsQKJRD17q eo73I0wiviwTHvW6jbBW =njbR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Hpr mailing list [email protected] http://hackerpublicradio.org/mailman/listinfo/hpr_hackerpublicradio.org
