XMMS2 gang at FOSDEM’08
Blogging now from the SCons talk at FOSDEM’08, in Brussels, along, physically, with many of the XMMS2 folks I’ve been hanging out with, virtually, for the past year or two.
Time flies fast but we had time to (in no particular order) consume large and varied amounts of Belgian beer, tease the Amarok2 devs, eat piles of argentinean meat (sponsored by Google SoC money, which also paid for the hotel), resume hacking on mpd-bridge with rafl, arouse the world about XMMS2 with tru’s Lightning Talk, benchmark weird perf issues in the hotel lobby late at night, meet a random DB dude in the bus who questioned a year of S4 brainstorming with an easy optimization tweak for our DB (which might or might not work, anders is still scratching its beard at it), stare wide-eyed at the Macbook Air’s thinness (the laptop is bundled with a Swedish party organizer named tru), etc.
Hopefully, more work, more releases, better PR and features to come to an XMMS2 near you in the following days!
Until then, you can still check out the flickr gallery for the event (tru’s also been blogging and posting some of nano’s pics to his blog).
