In Brazil
Kinda quiet from me because I'm very occupied down here in the south of Brazil at a favourite event, the huge Free/Open Source software conference FISL. Sun has set up an open rest area near the communities area where we are providing free coffee and a place to sit and relax as well as demonstrating an Ultra 20 workstation that will be given to a delegate on Saturday at the closing ceremony.
We've been absolutely swamped the whole time, from 10am until the event closes at 9pm, with the usual intelligent enthusiasm I've come to expect in Brazil. The event has maybe 5,000 attendees, and has a wide range of lectures in addition to the GPL v3 conference which is hosted within FISL today and tomorrow (where I'll be speaking on a panel concerning license compatibility).
What's truly amazing is who's not here. The event seems to have been forgotten by some of its supporters from previous years - where's IBM, for example? The energy and potential is enormous, as Jonathan has noticed, and I'm thrilled to be here - the future is not just in the East.
