Look at the size of of the devrooms , if at all , a project gets at Fosdem
It’s really interresting to see the Embedded room move to a 500 seat room which it really needed when the first openMoko talk was held there in a previous edition.
The FDO , Drupal, Mozilla, Centos/Fedora and Suse rooms stay in similar size rooms as last year.. But it seems lik the BSD and PostgreSQL room which was pretty crowded moved to a bigger location.
A while ago Dries wondered about Contributing back to Drupal .
Now Inuits is not a Webshop, we are an Open Source shop, so you won’t see a zillion Drupal modules being contributed by us in the near future (albeit there are a couple) , we are company assisting other organisations in their adoption of Open Source, and Drupal is amongst the projects we care for. You’ll notice code from us in the different other Open Source projects, including the Linux Kernel and other core infrastructure. And not all of it was code, there is a lot of published documentation, methodologies, bughunting and also spreading the words, or talking about our experiences around different topics such as MySQL Cluster and Drupal, or different alternatives to Monitor , or to Monitor MySQL etc ..
I had written some code to take wikipedia articles and summarise them. I wanted to offer this for use in various places, now the obvious way to offer it is just a web service (via REST, SOAP, etc), but that’s boring and I had a cunning plan. Why not offer it over DNS - it is basically a huge associative array and DNS is designed for this stuff.\
Buddylist is aimed at Drupal 5, so when porting to a site to Drupal 6, you need Buddylist2. However the BuddyList page mentions one should look at FriendList as that project is supposed finished ..
At first sight it seems like FriendList indeed most advanced in its efforts
As I was also using Invite, which also is still under development for 6,
I was assuming that upon installing it the dependencies would tell me which one to use.. however it seems none of them already hooks into Invite
When your favourite ex yahoo employee and mysql guru blogs about a “dns problem” and how he solved it using Twitter you can only smile ;) At last some useful use for Twitter .. when it’s up at least ..
So yesterday around 2010 a bunch of us arrived at the Kulminator,
To our surprise it was closed :(
We opted to move to the closest available place , the Zeppos and
I called pretty much everybody who’s phonenr I had handy that I knew could come. (much voicemails) I hope not too much people ended up standing in front of a closed door with no idea where to go (my phonenr is easy to find) but the ones that made it to the new place benefitted from Free Beer sponsored by Inuits
As I got a lot of positive reactions for the idea I posted last week, here is some more detail for the beerdrinking next monday.
29 december 2008 that is ..
The plan is to meet from 20:00 onwards in the Kulminator in Antwerpen.
I already got feedback from over a dozen PGB readers and posters that they will show up !
But feel free to abuse the comments to let us know you are coming too !
