As you can see from the heading, I'm bloggin' at Sun right now.

The Social Event starts in two hours, so I now have to plan, if I go to the hotel to have a shower or not... I wanted to, but - hmmm, I don't feel like walking this long way right now (though DevJersey absorbed a lot of sweat today) and you can go in to the event in an hour, so perhaps I skip the shower and go there directly... let's see..

Official LinuxTag is again over for today. I hope you all had fun with 'todays edition'!

Just checked my e-mail and saw that my fellowship has been activated! :)

So now you can reach me through the FSFE mail adress, too. It's redirected to my foss@....

He had a talk about "TYPO3: Project and Principles" and later on was signing his book and talking to his fans. It was really nice to see the people go away with a huge smile in their face! :)

And, hey, be honest: he really looks like a snowboarder, doesn't he? ;)

I saw him in the cafeteria later. He was just silently skiing around with his backpack and a LinuxTag-paperbag and went to talk to the organizer of LinuxTag. Seems like a pretty silent and nice guy.

Although I heard today that Rasmus Lerdorf is supposed to be the coolest Open Source Dev with company interests around him. I sadly didn't hear his talk yesterday morning and also I didn't get the LAMP Area party yesterday evening - I think, that would have been a good opportunity to meet interesting people.

In the LAMP area are sitting projects and companies like MySQL, eGroupware, ThinkPHP, PEAR and lots more. Basically - lots of arch-enemies! Can you think of PHProjekt and eGroupware people living next to one another for four days? ;)

Well, today I experienced what a nice atmosphere there is. We were standing in front of the Mayflower/ThinkPHP booth and chatting, when johann__ said: "That's one of the eGroupware guys. Hey, Lars, come over, amette wants to see what you freaks are like!" And then the talk started. Some friendly picking on the others software, some namecalling and some exchange of knowledge. That was real Open Source spirit live! It was very nice to just stand there and listen - I haven't laughed that much during the whole LinuxTag. A guy, I think Hermann was the name, who does so many FOSS projects, that he himself always forgets half of them, joined in and participated in making evil jokes! Those guys have some weird humour I really dig! :)

johann__ told me that it has been like this all the days: "Blog about it! That's so cool here in LAMP Area!"

Yes, it was ThinkPHP! The guy in front is johann__ and the guy standing at the desk was yesterday still a woman. At least that's what he told me, when I asked him, what the heck he is doing here, he doesn't fit into my poll. ;)

The girl sitting at the desk is one of the two, who were there yesterday. And now comes the best part of it: they're both real coders, actually doing pretty crazy stuff! Stuff that I would never dare to dig into. :)
