Short bursts of stuff: This week Ubuntu Open Week kicks off. Be there or be square – it is your chance to be a part of the Ubuntu community and learn from the masters. A bunch of new speaking slots are confirmed for me including LinuxTag, OSCON, Ubuntu Live and others. I will be updating [...]

Got back from my trip to FISL 8.0 in Brazil and I had an insanely good time. After my rather tortuous trip, I checked into the hotel, and headed straight to FISL where I met with Sulamita (my tour guide and the queen of sarcasm) and the Intel chaps. I spent three days and took [...]

FISL 8.0 has been stunning. I haven’t got much time to write up details of it right now, but I have had a blast while here. I was pleased to see a large chunk of people show up to my talk for some cat herding advice: I have met some stunning people, but I will [...]

Hey! Guess what? I am still in England. It turns out I need a paper ticket to get on the plane, and despite (a) there being a reservation for me in my full name, (b) me having the full credentials with my passport and (c) being able to give them all details about my travel [...]

…more than you can imagine. I have been here for a long time, and it blows. Tomorrow, I will be in Brazil, and hope to see some of you there. Also, why is there such an insane starvation of plug sockets at airports? Is the need to plug in a laptop and get online such [...]

Next week I fly to Brazil to FISL 8.0. I am looking forward to visiting such a wonderful country, and I am keen to meet up with plenty of people in addition to Sulamita being my guide there. So, as usual, if you fancy meeting up – [get in touch with me](mailto:jono AT ubuntu DOT [...]

I just want to clarify that the reason I cannot make the Turkey trip not because of anything minor, but a health related issue that prevents me from traveling. I don’t particularly want to go into details, but rest assured I have done everything I can to try and get around this issue. I am [...]

OK, I have a few things to cover in this blog post, so hang tight. Dammit, that sucks – Unfortunately I have had to cancel my appearance at the Free Software and Open Source Days 2007 event in Turkey. I wish I could attend the event but alas, circumstances mean that I can’t. Apologies to [...]

I have been getting stack of people asking the same question, so just to be clear – no I am not at FOSDEM this weekend. The hectic travel schedule demanded a weekend off, so FOSDEM had to suffer unfortunately. Next year, I promise. Oh, and don’t believe any lies that Edward Hervey may tell. Don’t [...]

Adam has done it again. Herding Cats lovers, curious people and those with nothing better to do can see the LCA presentation of the talk in full YouTube glory here. Thanks Adam!
