Animus Wisdom

Howdy Everybody,

As some of you know ( thanks to my live feeds ) I decided to go help out the KDE USA team at SCALE 7x, SCALE is an Open Source Community conference located in Los Angeles, CA USA. I got to mingle with great people from many projects and companies including Debian, PC-BSD, GNOME, Ubuntu, Haiku, IBM, SUN, Open-BSD, Fedora and many others.

On Saturday I arrived with one of my KDE Mexico members ( ‘Lu’ a recent KDE convert ) to help out with the Spanish speaking audience, I was happy to see that we had a pimped out booth setup: Two great looking LCD monitors sponsored by Qt Software, Ian took two wicked fast thin-clients ( I hope you will send me one for my birthday next week ), Aaron took his posters from last years event and we had more swag than expected, since we decided to go in uniform; blue KDE shirt + black pants. We where told our booth looked way professional. :-D

By 9:30 AM we got swamped by a lot of people interested in KDE and the floor hadn’t even opened yet :-D, the internet connection seemed to be a bit off so my live streams where cutting out ( sorry >.<" ).

Later that day I went to stream the KDE talk by Aaron and tried to help him out with a few jokes during the presentation, I notices a few people chatting away about the talk in IRC loving the presentation. I got to meet a CPP + GL developer interested in joining KDE after the presentation ( \o/ YEEY ).

By the end of the first day I had feet the size of California, we met up with Dilip from Nokia ( Trolltech ) who we talked earlier in the day with. He invited us all out to dinner at a local restaurant and we got to talk about some interesting subjects.

On Sunday things cooled down, I got to make some new friends after dishing out some COCAINE Ian and Dilip A.K.A. Aaron scored on Sunday night ( the Drink - not the Drug lol ).

I would like to thank the e.V. and everybody else who helped us get out there and get KDE in the hands of the public. :-D *hugs* to you all.
