Debian miniconf in Cambridge

Tue, 22 Nov 2016 19:08:00 +0000

I spent a few days in Cambridge for a minidebconf. This is a tiny version of the full annual Debconf. We had a couple of days for hacking, and another two days for talks.

I spent my hacking time on thinking about vmdebootstrap (my tool for generating disk images with an installed Debian), and came to the conclusion I need to atone my sins for writing such crappy code by rewriting it from scratch to be nicer to use. I gave a talk about this, too. The mailing list post has the important parts, and meetings-archive has a video.

I haven't started the rewrite, and it's not going to make it for stretch.

I also gave two other talks, on the early days of Linux, and Qvarn, the latter being what I do at work.

Thank you to ARM, for sponsoring the location, and the other sponsors for sponsoring food. These in-real-life meetings between developers are important for the productivity and social cohesion of Debian.

I and Rob Taylor will be giving a talk about Baserock at FOSDEM this year. Baserock is a new method for developing embedded Linux systems, and one such system, which we are creating at Codethink.

The talk is scheduled in the Embedded and mobile devroom on Saturday, at 14:00. There will be a demo.

GTD for hackers talk

Wed, 06 Jun 2012 20:32:17 +0000

While on a recent trip to Italy, I gave a talk two times about Getting Things Done for Hackers. I made a few slides, which I've made public in case anyone's interested, but, really, the website is a better replacement for slides.
