Saying thank you
Apr 8th
As I’m way better writing stuff than saying it with my own words, here a short “Thank you!“
- Christel, you have been a gracious and honest person, thanks for all the advice and help in the last year
- Chrissy, thanks for the inspiring words, you really made/make me feel better
- Alec (antarus), you’ve been a real friend and to say it with your own words “It sucks to be you”; to phrase it differently, I’m really going to miss you
- Bryan, thanks for all the help, thanks for all the fun at FOSDEM (and after FOSDEM, hah)
- Ned, Alexander (pappy); you’ve both been an inspiration, thanks for letting me work on hardened foo; it has been real fun
- Mike (vapier), thanks for being a smart ass and inspiration at the same time
- Chris, thanks for the inspiration and for being a sarcastic person
- Andrew, thanks for trying to make a fun out of me
and thanks for warning me of Chris’s sarcasm
Post FOSDEM 2007 thoughts (do I know you ?)
Mar 26th
Some of us attended this years FOSDEM in Brussels (thanks to Dimitry it was *really*, *really* great).
We (at least the ones attending) got to know each other a bit better (I even got to know some pre Gentoo devs .. yeah, you), and some time after FOSDEM (I think it was ~3 days afterwards), Petteri (betelgeuse) asked me why people all of the sudden start to call him with his first name on IRC.
I think the cause for that is just seeing each other for some time (like 2 days in a row), talking to the other(s) in person makes you feel closer to him/her (you hopefully know what I mean 
). Or maybe that’s just me.
After FOSDEM the virtual bonds changed, I started to call quite some people by their first name as did others.
