So I’m finally getting near the end of my Grad School career and will slowly have some small bit of life back. Hence the need to post. Just a quick recap of events from this year since the last post:
1. OpenSource World, San Francisco – All speakers were lined up and presented, heard some great things about them, but the show in general seems to be having trouble finding its rhythm. Unfortunately once again I had to miss it because…
