this is a PSA: if you’re thinking about submitting a talk for GUADEC 2013 in Brno, you have a week to do so. :-)
Everything hits at once,

conferences sadly, this year I missed FOSDEM — and I saw from the blog posts on PGO that the DX hackfest was also amazing — but I had a good excuse, as I had to give a talk about Unicorns and Rainbows at linux.conf.au, in Canberra. I had the chance …

today is the deadline for submitting candidacies for the election of the GNOME Board of Directors. I decided to run again this year: it took me a bit to get into the role, but I think I can work with the fellow Board members, as well with the rest of …
Culling of the Fold,
—
