DebConf 2007 Edinburgh, Scotland
The seventh annual Debian Conference has been organized in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. And not only that, the conference venue is located just next to the city center, in a old comfortable and friendly place that has got its own atmosphere.
I have met here a lot of really interesting (and famous - in the world of Debian/GNU Linux) people. My impression is that the atmosphere was just amazing, very friendly, open, productive, …. Well, we had some discussions about various license related issues, but as long as we behave as rational people and as long as there exists a common sense I’m not worried.
The picture above shows Tom Marble of Sun and Mathias Klose of Canonical talking about how to best package various Java upstreams available on the market for Debian/GNU Linux, Ubuntu, and later I hope even for Nexenta.
I have taken a chance to present some nice OpenSolaris features like zoneadm clone smoothly integrated within Nexenta.
It’s a pitty I had no more time to spend at DebConf2007, but I’m already looking forward the DebConf2008. The videos of the presentations are becoming available one after one.
The new flash demos about pbuilder running on top ZFS powered OpenSolaris Zones (that are able to host the Debian/4.0 Etch and other Linux distros thanx to BrandZ extension) are all available at my Nexenta Pages.
