Hursley

Today I travelled down to IBM’s Hursley offices to do a talk on the Linux desktop and where it is going. I got a train down to Reading, jumped in a car with Josette from O’Reilly and then we both got lost a few times on the way to Hursley.

The Hursley offices are huge. Around 3000 people are working there and the site is set in a massive manor on beautiful grounds. The talk seemed to go quite well, plenty of questions afterwords and the guys from IBM are cool. The talk covered Cairo, Xgl, X.org, GStreamer, Plasma, Topaz and plenty of discussion about usability. After the talk an IBM usability guy came over and introduced himself.

Got back in tonight and I am shattered. I have tonnes of blogs to read and a large stack of mail too. Over and out…
