FUDCon 11 - Boston 2009
Actually, I’m ready to leave to FOSDEM (Bruxelles), and only now I’ve realized I haven’t written a post about FUDCON11 (Boston) yet 
So, here I am (as usual) with some photos and a little review about the event.
First of all I have to describe my adventure with the Air France flight (Milan-Paris-NYC) during a impressive snow storm… My flight never took off… I changed two different flights in Milan, to get in Paris just in time to miss my flight to New York.
Very good start!
I spent a night in Paris (Air France voucher was for a night+dinner+breakfast in a hotel closed to Euro Disneyland! Very cool! …but pretty useless.. I got to the hotel near 11 PM… to late for a trip in the park…), then a 8 hours flight to New York.
I love New York, and I got the opportunity to spend a night in the Big Apple.
Then I took a bus (4.30 hours), and I got in (a very cold) Boston on Thursday evening.
Friday was dedicated to different hack sessions (puppet, infrastructure team meeting, etc…), and Saturday, as usual, was proposed as Bar Camps event.
In the afternoon I’ve presented a session about FUNC and SYMBOLIC, and I’ve found a couple of guys really interested to be developers of these two very exciting projects (fudcon rocks!!!!!) 
On Friday evening I, Kanarip, Sthepan and Jonathan went to a “very-expensive” (discovered when it was to late….) steak house. Very good meat, and probably the best cheese-cake I’ve ever eaten in USA.
On Sunday I left fudcon for a while with Simo Sorce and his wife to visit MIT Museum (a nerd really can’t miss this place!). Next Christmas I want to give as a gift to Lucia’s little nieces the “DNA Lego” series (basically a magnetic Lego that simulates a DNA chains…)
Then, unfortunately, I had to left Boston to get home by Logan Airport (probably the best organized airport I’ve ever seen in my live).
As usual FUDCON is a place where you can feel yourself at home, where you find always new contributors for your projects, and where you see new exciting projects that you want to contribute.
It’s something like work, holiday, training, vacation and social networks mixed all together to create new, exiting method of collaborations.
I’ll surely be present to next fudcon! and I’ll try to get some friends and colleagues with me!
See you then
