Hmmm, it's good to be back home. Even though I enjoyed the travelling and conferencing, it was quite exhausting; yesterday, I attended the workshop in Florence and gave a talk about Debian. Since some people in the audience didn't speak English well, we decided to translate the talk. However, it was not done simultaneously, but sequentially: I said a paragraph, and then this paragraph was translated. I though this situation wasn't ideal because it broke the flow and must have been quite boring for those understanding both languages. However, the audience seemed to like the talk and various people asked me questions afterwards. In the evening, Andrea Glorioso (sama), some of his friends and me went out to have dinner.
In the morning (err, practically still during the night… I got up at 5.30), I went to the airport to get my flight to Gatwick. I met someone who is interested in starting a Debian based project, and while the meeting was interesting I'm not in a position to say much about it. Afterwards, I went to the company James Bromberger is working for because they are in the process of moving to Debian. They are interested in a 64 bit PowerPC of Debian, and we talked a while about this. I then went to the train station, noticed that King's Cross looks different, almost missed the train because the queue for tickets was quite long, but fortunately the train was late so I successfully boarded the train to Cambridge. And so I'm back. I caught up on e-mail, but there are a million of things to do, both for Debian and for university.
