Oct. 28th, 2011 09:23 amMy talk was ok. The audience suggested few useful ideas on how to develop a kernel patch I was talking about further. Most comments still were that I should submit all I have to kernel mail list, not just give it away to anyone interested.
Most of other talks were very useful: Tracing and debugging from Ericsson, Intel; virtualization management from IBM.
By the way the atmosphere of the event is special: It is not dominated by any particular vendor like most conferences, and is not covered with a thick scent of "LETMESELLYOUSOMETHING!!!" which is so common for MWC, CES, CeBIT etc.
Yesterday evening there was a dinner for speakers, sponsors and attendees who buy a ticket.

It was in a nice place in center of Prague too, but this time it was a modern night club not an ancient brewery.
Quite a few interesting people there... I met and talked for some time with maddog, he is a very smart guy. His stories about his experience in computing in 60s, 70s and 80s were very useful for my education.
He is very passionate when speaking about his current project. All in all the project sounds like a Stephenson's novel e.g. Cryptonomicon (part of it which is about modern times, not WWII of course)
