DebCamp / DebConf9

So far I'm very much enjoying my first DebCamp / DebConf. It's nice to finally meet a lot of people in person that I have worked together with or talked to on IRC in the last few years. Cáceres is a relatively small town with a nice old city center.

I arrived early for DebCamp and spent the first few days here working on fixing bugs in the Bazaar and Samba packages as well as discussing the integration between Samba 4 and Kerberos with Sam (both in general and on Debian specifically). In trying to set up a Samba 4 domain we found a number of bugs in the provisioning script, most of which seem to be fixed now.

In the last few days I've mostly worked on getting Samba 4 and OpenChange ready to go into Sid (they're in experimental only at the moment) and have discussed bzr-builddeb and related Bazaar issues with James.

My identi.ca feed is now also being forwarded to twitter here: http://twitter.com/ctrlsoft.

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.

UDS and Barcelona

At the moment I'm in Barcelona, attending the Bazaar sprint, which happens to be cohosted with the Ubuntu Developer Summit. I attended half a day of the UDS in Sydney a couple of years ago, so I had some idea of what I was in for already. It's a lot of fun, and having the two events at the same place at the same time was really worthwhile :-) I finally got to meet some of the Ubuntu server people in person.

I flew here a couple of days early so I could do some sightseeing, never having been in Barcelona (or Spain) before. The city was much nicer than I had expected, and we had some great weather. The timing was great, too: we we were there during the Cycling Tour of Catalonia and F.C.B. won both the national title and the European champions league (I hope I got that right, the important bit was the large amount of people partying outside :-).

During the first day of the summit I gave a short plenary talk on the Samba packaging in Ubuntu. Other than that I spent most of the time during the day switching back and forth between the Bazaar sprint room and the various break-out sessions. The main topics in the Bazaar world were the 2.0 release, and what had to be done to get it out of the door.
