FOSS.my 2009 is coming – a little bit of a background story on the little girl.

That’s Martha, Nicholas’ daughter (of OSCC). She won the OLPC hands down during FOSS.my 2008, beating all other grown ups in a little game for OLPC giveaway. I think she’s the youngest audience in the hall. Nice trick Nic, I know you want the OLPC for geek self :p!

Was at INCOSSH 2008, and somehow we ended up in an executive suite. Nothing to brag about since we only got to enjoy the bedroom area – the living room and the dining area left untouched. It would be fun if we were on a holiday, we wouldn’t have left it as neat. Anyway, I only listen to 1 or 2 of the talks – the beach was distracting me. Truth be told, I didn’t even get my feet on the sandy beach! We were that occupied. But I enjoyed the ocean breeze all the same during tea breaks and night strolls.

I’m on leave for starting from today until the next Friday!! Woohoo!! So many things to do. Hope to get everything done then.

Missed FOSS.my monthly meetup last night. Urghh!

Why did I procastinate?

Somebody help me with this please!

I knew I had to finish up some stuff this weekend but I kept on delaying it until the last minute, this very wee hour. You know what I did the whole weekend? Friday night, I was out with family. Saturday, the whole day I spent watching tv – you don’t know how tv-deprived I was. Saturday nite, I can’t remember what I did actually. On Sunday, I woke up really late doing stuff I don’t remember what the night before. I didn’t go straight to work, instead I went cleaning up my room, rearranged and refolding clothes, took a long shower (my heater is broken! isk), watched some more tv, watched some dvd’s, well until it was 11. I went to play games after that (that expert level on Majesty rox). Made some coffee, grilled some fish, downloaded some music, then only I started looking at the work I was supposed to do. It was 2am.

Why did I procastinate?

On a side note, have to work on FOSSchix.my soon. I don’t think any meeting can be held before that FOSS meetup. So sad, there’s something coming up on 3 – 5 Dec. Damn you government for holding so many events and what’s that star rating.

FOSS.my 2008 was awesome!

Great event.

Now that’s an example of how an open source event should be – laidback, fun, ‘protocol-less’, various informative tech talks, responsive audience and most importantly everyone was there for one same reason: the love in open source and building a community, not because they had no choice ordered to go there by their bosses.

If you weren’t there, honestly speaking, you missed out on ALOT. Whether it was because of other commitments or just plain intimidated that you didn’t come that day, well, come to FOSS.my 2009 then (hopefully there’ll be one). You will surprised at how friendly and helpful these people are!

I can’t stress enough how awesome it was and how much you missed out if you weren’t there. Worth my weekend.
