The ones at UDS or the local ones I have here in San Francisco?

The UDS ones are tricky because there are always multiple events per night, so people have team dinners, employer dinners, or other social plans that overlap with others (several women couldn’t attend the last Ubuntu Women dinner I held due to conflicts). Often times it was the only time in 6 months you could meet with certain people in person so the evenings were quite valuable.

Locally in SF… well it’s actually a similar problem :) We’re such a heavy tech city that you could go to a tech event every single night of the week and still not get to everything. I joked that when I moved here I got a “LUG Hangover” from going to so many events in one month. Even our Ubuntu Hour+Debian Dinner conflict with a weekly Linux meetup. It’s pretty much impossible to avoid this and so people need to make choices about what they’ll attend and how much they’ll attend.

It saddens me when I see things like, “7 people showed up”. (Although, that is, to me, a pretty decent gathering for dinner.)

Thanks! They’re 21 and 21.5 inches. Just put in an order for a third, 22 inch, to connect to my laptop so it is no longer precariously perched on the edge of my desk :)

I really only attended one session and I thought it was nice and comfortable, but reading this helped me understand the big picture feel of the vUDS.

I can’t help but admire your chaotic desktop. How big is the monitor?
