SHDH FTW

I’m currently sitting at a pub in Wellington at the inaugural SHDH Aotearoa. which is inspired by SuperHappyDevHouse in the US. Essentially, it’s a hackathon bringing geeks together in the same place with a lot of free as in free-as-in-beer beer. The environment is buzzing and it’s great to have so many geeks together to bounce ideas around. It feels like aKademy, just with more Gnome.

It’s been organised by some extremely awesome people, among whom two I used to work with at my previous employer, Penny Leach and Brenda Wallace. I have ended up sitting next to a representative from Microsoft. This amuses me.

Today, I’ve decided that I’m going to do a bit of work on trying to come up with some improved content for KDE.org, to then go over with the Marketing & Promotional groups afterwards, as well as a little bit of sysadmin work (Dirk, I apologise in advance if I stuff anything up). If I end up running out of ideas before I’m finished here I’ll be ripping a lot of KDE3 content out of the FAQ and restructuring things a bit getting ready for KDE4 content.

Right now, hacking and a cool drink calls.
