Gone

[Wyl Staedtler]

Trans-Pacific Open Source Software Conference is starting tomorrow and runs 'til Thursday, so I won't back here til maybe Friday. My uncle has presentations and he's asked me to come with him each day. |I

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Have fun!


|I

Or...not?

[Morgan Evanar]

That sounds like fun! Can I go in your place?

[Wyl Staedtler]

I hate computer stuff, but I feel obligated to go because I haven't seen my uncle for six or seven years and he's trying to include me.

Just try to make the best of it. if it's one of those things with lots of booths for different companies, see how many free things you can get ^_^; :lol

lunchbreak. i... think... i'm... dying... of... boredom... and... i... don't... understand... anything... anyone... is... saying... make... the... lectures... stop... :cry

i want to be at home consuming inordinate amounts of chicken soup, dove chocolate, and penny arcade.

(i did get a comfy trolltech shirt tho from some guy my uncle works with. i don't know what Qt is, but i have something to clutch when the sessions start up again.)

You should walk around and get everyone to sign the shirt - treat this thing like a concert. See if you can get a moshpit started - or you can try for a rave if you can get a hold of some glowsticks :)

You know, the last thing I would want to be in the midle of is a mosh pit of smelly fat Open Source zealot geeks

Well, she can get it started, but I'd recommend bailing once it gets going so she can watch.

Females at a Open Source convention?!?!?!

Surely you jest

[Lady Vader]

And for that matter... females exist on the interweb???!!!1!1111??//?

Sounds like fun! :p

[Wyl Staedtler]

Most of the people there were pale and skinny, actually. And my uncle's not a bad-looking guy.

Also, I'm quite surprised that he's fairly well-known amongst these people. Someone actually asked for his autograph after his presentation, and then my uncle showed me a thong someone had sent him in the mail with the logo of the project he's working on stamped on it. He's like a geek rock-star.

[Morgan Evanar]

What project is he on exactly?

Something called 'KDE'.

[Morgan Evanar]

KDE is a really really big deal. Which part?

Well, it's over. Not so bad, I guess. I got a free shirt. OSEF = Open Source Education Foundation. Not sure what's up with the penguin though.
