Planet Ergo

Please allow me to describe my day of travelling yesterday;

Having woken up at 05:30am ET, I started at Detroit airport, as I just so happened to be in the area already. From Detroit, a Continental (now United) flight to Newark (oops, high building, zig, oops, high building, zag, touch-down). Short layover, continued my trip to Miami -from the air it looks much like in the CSI series.

Note to self: do not wear black shoes, black trousers and a black T-shirt when travelling through Miami as you have to go outside to the designated smoking area which has no shaded area anywhere near it.

From Miami, I had an endurable Copa flight to Panama City, where immigration lines are as bad as they are in the U.S. Alejandro picked me up, dropped me off at the hotel, and took me back to Cuidad del Saber, where I met up with the rest of the guys -about 18 hours after I started.

One too many beers and a barbeque later, Alejandro drove me back to the hotel for some well-deserved, long-needed rest.

Today, I've been preparing some of the sessions I'm going to pitch or try and squeeze in the schedule, including but not limited to the following titles;

• Cloud
• Why You Are All Idiots
• Software, Packaging, RPM, Guidelines, Build Systems... but why?

I suppose other sessions I could/should also be doing are on Spins, Fedora Trademark / EMEA / NPO, Extended Life-cycle Support, Configuration Management with Puppet and Fedora in the Enterprise. I can pitch'em all, but I'll have to see which ones actually make it on the rather tight schedule ;-)
