FUDCon Boston 2008

RedHat Summit was great, but not as much as FUDCon! It was an occasion for me to know a lot of people that I only knew by “Internet” tools… and an handshake sometime is better then a hundred emails :-)

Format was “barcamp“, a social and interactive way to schedule presentations and talks (very appropriate in a “Fedora context”).

Now I’m involved into some opensource projects (especially about “configuration management”), and I’ve been happy to met other developers and sysadmins really into this topic (Func, CSI, Puppe and so on….). I see good things at the horizon…

Here you are the link to see some shots taken during the event:

I’m looking forward to attendee next FUDCon in Europe!

Michael: you need a portable tripod :-)

Canada, New England and other wonderful places

Too many places, to many people, too many photos… I can’t tell you how great this trip was (I can’t attendee RH Summit without spending a couple of weeks in USA…).

Just a “thanks” and “see you soon” to Marcelo, a friend of mine (from Argentina) that I see only during my trips in USA. I hope to meet you in Argentina next time, and I hope before next year! ;-)

RedHat Summit in Boston

After a couple of weeks, here I am to write a quickly post about RedHat Summit.

It was the first time for me in Boston (Great and beautiful city) and I really enjoyed the Summit, especially social events like party at Fenway Stadium or dinner at the 50th floor of Prudential Centre (see photos below). RedHat parties are great as usual! :-)

On the square, food quality wasn’t every time so good… Definitely +1 for the Lobster Ravioli (have you ever tasted this kind of ravioli in Italy?), but surely -1 for the “welcome cocktail” or sandwiches served during meal… Sorry, but I’m Italian guy…

BTW, Summit surely represents the most important opportunity to keep in touch with lot of “remote friends”, colleagues and come out with new ideas and new business strategies.
