On Friday evening MJ proposed and I said yes! I was completely surprised up until the moment he asked. The whole proposal was quite an amazing undertaking, complete with a limo, a professional photographer, a winery rented out for the evening and private catering for our dinner in a wine cave. The evening ended with […]

Visiting Edmonton
June 6th, 2011 by pleia2
For Memorial day weekend I decided to take the weekend to make a quick trip up to Edmonton, Alberta to meet up with my sister at the West Edmonton Mall. I wrote my last post from the San Francisco airport just prior to taking off on my United flight up. The flight up was just […]
Lurking in airports
May 27th, 2011 by pleia2
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 […]
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 […]
UDS-O in Budapest: Day 3
May 12th, 2011 by pleia2
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 […]
The rest of our Puerto Rico trip
April 19th, 2011 by pleia2
I’ve needed a vacation for a while. I went to Dublin in October but as much touristing I did I was pretty active on Ubuntu work while I was there (replying to emails, updating docs, even attending an Ubuntu event!). I decided that for my own sanity I’d stay away from those kinds of obligations […]
