This has been my busiest travel month ever, and I think it’ll be hard to top. I’m currently sitting at San Francisco International Airport waiting for my 3 hour flight to Edmonton to see my sister and finally meet her husband (it’s only been 5 years…). I’ll be renting a car upon arrival at 11PM […]

Trip to Hollywood and Miami Florida
May 23rd, 2011 by pleia2
A couple months ago we received an invitation from MJ’s family for a Bat Mitzvah boat party for one of his cousins in Miami. MJ hadn’t seen these relatives in several years and it seemed like a nice opportunity to visit. We took today off from work, booked our flights and then were pleasantly surprised […]
B2B, Ubuntu Hours and the rest of my week
May 21st, 2011 by pleia2
Sunday was full of jetlag. My flight the previous night had gotten in at 7PM but the time zone difference from Budapest was killer. I managed to stay up past 10PM but I woke up bright and early on Sunday when Bay to Breakers started at 7AM. B2B is the annual race in San Francisco […]

May 17th, 2011 by pleia2
I stopped dragging my feet and finally created a shiny new 4096-bit RSA GPG key. (Too bad I did this after printing up all my new business cards with the old fingerprint. D’oh!)

UDS-O Budapest: Day 5
May 16th, 2011 by pleia2
Friday was the last day of UDS (sad!) and it once again started off with some tasty breakfast and by me attending the Community Roundtable. One of the things that was discussed at length is making attending UDS for the first time easier for people. I really liked the suggestion of hosting an Ubuntu Classroom […]
UDS-O in Budapest: Day 4
May 13th, 2011 by pleia2
Thursday was the busiest day of the summit for me. It started with the Community Roundtable where we discussed some of the webapp development community members are doing for Ubuntu resources and how Canonical can make it easier for them (setting up staging sites, expanding access without compromising security). There was also some talk of […]

I woke up at 5:30AM on Wednesday morning and couldn’t fall back to sleep, once again not enough sleep! After breakfast it was off to the Community Roundtable where we talked about what the 200 million users goal means for the community, nurturing leaders and talked a bit about UDS Sponsorship criteria. – LoCo and […]
UDS-O in Budapest: Day 2
May 10th, 2011 by pleia2
I woke up far too early again on Tuesday morning, jet lag fun! The first session I attended was the Community Roundtable again where Jono talked about some of the plans for the emerging QA infrastructure, and we discussed the need for quickstart getting involved pages and general wiki pruning for a lot of teams, […]
UDS-O in Budapest: Travel and Day 1
May 10th, 2011 by pleia2
My weekend began with a quick ride down to the San Francisco airport for a noon flight to Los Angeles. I dashed across LAX only to arrive at my gate to a flight that was delayed by over an hour. At the gate I met Clint Byrum who was on the same fight. The long […]
This past weekend and upcoming travel
May 3rd, 2011 by pleia2
This past weekend was my last full weekend at home until June. Saturday morning I headed out around 11AM to stop at BritShoppe.com‘s retail location on 15th street behind Potrero Center. It’s quite the gem, I was just reminiscing the other day about how I missed Lion bars – and they have them! Along with […]
