Thursday August 10, 2006 Just In Time
Looks like I made it home just in time I got home about 12 hours before the new security alert froze UK-US travel this morning. The restrictions are draconian, and while I am sure I should be grateful to the security services I can't help wondering whether we're willingly surrendering too many freedoms in too short a time. Time will tell what travelling looks like from now on, but it certainly looks like meditation will be a useful skill to develop for in-flight entertainment.
If you'd wondered where I was, I visited the Bay Area after taking my new team to OSCON, and then took a short holiday driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles via Carmel, Big Sur and Santa Barbara. The journey included some delightful places and I had a try at taking the perfect pelican photo - still not got it though. Back in the saddle now though, wading through my e-mail and getting ready for next week's press briefing, about which my lips are sealed :-)

I've been a small contributor to the group that Tim mentions has been developing new, much more FOSS-friendly terms of use for java.net - I'm delighted to see that they have now gone live, they seem best-of-breed now.

Canonical has a new community manager for the Ubuntu community. This is a key role in any large open source community and I think Mark has chosen well. Congratulations, Jono.
