Yesterday I went to the Ubuntu Developer Summit M, because it was held in Belgium, and I was interested in how uds worked (I picked some ideas up for our own Fudcon ) . That morning  Toshaan picked me up at Gent-Sint-Pieters. We arrived around 9am at the Dolce La Hulpe Hotel and Resort, Brussels, Belgium. The day started off [...]

so, what started as an event for the local – Belgian – Linux sys admins ended up as a -small- event with some top notch international speakers and visitors from all over Europe. I met some people from Austria, UK, France, Germany, … . Thanks to Robert Keersse we had a great location – Don Bosco Werken en Leren – [...]

Yes, tomorrow is the first day of a new Linux event geared towards system administrators. As most of you probably already know, the name of this event is: Linux Open Administration Days , or load. I think load has a good schedule, and everybody will be able to find a talk or tutorial that fits his or her interests. But [...]

Some may already know, but the load schedule is online, and we have a pretty loaded schedule! It promises to be a great weekend for the linux system administrator, with talks from people like Kris Buytaert, Thomas Herve, Jeroen van Meeuwen (European rhce of the year 2008) and many more! We also have some nice tutorials scheduled, and there will [...]

Two weekends ago, I went to clt. Man, what a great event was that! On Friday, around 9am, I took the car, and drove to Chemnitz. After picking up Yaakov and Gregory in Eindhoven, and Christoph in Dortmund we arrived at the hotel around 7pm. While driving trough Germany, I was astonished by the scenic landscape, and I found out [...]

arch, I don’t know… I have one of those ‘I should quit school’ days.. And just today I saw a post on planet fedora from Mel Chua . She is not alone one of the most awesome geek girls I know, but she also helped me out a couple of times already. (big thank you Mel!) The title of her [...]

One of the Universal Truths that lie just beyond the fabric of modern society is the axiom that geeks, along with nerds and other peoples who overinvest in intelligence but boast underdeveloped social skills, make the best lovers. Once people realize this, the sexual revolution that will sweep through western culture will make the seventies look like the fifties, and [...]

As a Fedora Ambassador I go to conferences sometimes.. Today, I decided to go to Chemnitzer Linux-Tage on 13 and 14 March. Because going from Ghent to Chemnitzer is difficult by public transpot, I decided to go by car. I will be staying in the Mercure hotel together with the other fedora people (and possible other linux people?). But maybe [...]

hi, as you might know, I’m a fedora ambassador (and much more).. one of the things we are currently doing is trying to get FOSS software into colleges (and other schools) by the Fedora Campus Ambassadors program! So, I figured we had to eat once after all, why can’t we get together (students and teachers that want to see more [...]
