Seeing this makes me very happy. It's taken us a couple of years to get to this point but we've finally made it, mostly thanks to the dedication and persistence of Julien and Brad.

DebConf

I'm looking forward to going to my first DebCamp/DebConf. I won't be giving a talk, but I hope to work together with others on integrating Samba 3 and 4 better with the rest of the system and VCS integration.

Sightseeing Paris

Following SambaXP I'm spending a couple of days in Paris. There was a surprisingly good train connection, we left Göttingen a bit before midnight and arriving in Paris around 8 the next morning, without any transits. The plan is to walk around a bit tomorrow and maybe visit the Louvre with Andrew, Kirsty and Julien. I guess I should've known this already, but Paris is expensive. Forgot to look at the menu card in advance the other day and ended up having a 8 euro (special) beer.

I'm staying a couple of days after Andrew and Kirsty travel on to England, so I can visit some friends and family before I head back. There might also be OpenChange hacking involved.

OpenChange Evolution plugin preview and Debian packages

Srini writes that a preview of the Evolution OpenChange plugin has just been published. This plugin is now developed in the Evolution Subversion repository, but is based on the original plugin that was written by the Epitech team that worked for the OpenChange project this year.

I've packaged new snapshots of Samba and OpenChange for Debian/Ubuntu, available from my personal apt repository and hopefully soon also from Debian experimental.

Update: These packages are now in Debian experimental as well as the upcoming Intrepid release of Ubuntu. I have removed them from my personal repository because of disk quota.

Epitech/OpenChange meeting

I've had a lot of time to practice my French skills this weekend while visiting Epitech and meeting up with Julien, Ali, Dan and the other OpenChange folks in Paris.

There was a forum at Epitech where student teams present the projects that they've been working on over the course of the last year. One of the Epitech student teams has done an excellent job on an OpenChange plugin for Evolution that now even appears to have been picked up by upstream. The other projects were also quite interesting as well and varied from a fun to play 3D racing game to a much improved LGPL'ed implementation of the ClamAv virus scanner or a personal logging application for diabetics. Afterwards there was a little bit of an Open Source conference, where Dan and I gave talks about Open Source and Samba, respectively.
