Conferences

GUADEC 6 is a few hours and thousands of miles away. I missed it again for the third year. Every year I decide to make it this year and either somebody forgets to tell me about travel plans in time, or he thinks I'm not interested or busy or something... I'm acceping the first job offer that guarantees to send me to GUADEC 7 ;). Have a good time girls and guys, that should be quite a lot of fun. My old friend Siamak is staffing too.

Instead, DDC'05 and OLS'05 in two months in Ottawa and I'm going to be there for the third year. I tend to like the week-long conference atmosphere. The three day GUADEC looks to short to me, but I've not been there, so you know. I like Ottawa the city too. Last year I take two hours off from the keyboard in the middle of the day and went for a visit to a couple museums. I particularly liked the Royal Canadian Mint. I collect Canadian quarter coins since.

YAPC'05 (Yet Another Perl Conference) is next month here in downtown Toronto too. Some hundred bucks to register though. I may try to become a staff. Michelle dropped the idea of going there with Python tshirts.
