1. I have been on the road again. The good thing about travelling is that I get a lot of code written. The bad news is that I am not getting enough sleep. Last week, I was in Oslo for the [http://www.goopen.no/english/ GoOpen] conference. GoOpen is an annual event in which the city of Oslo celebrates Free Software. I flew overnight from Boston on Monday. Tuesday evening, I was on a really fun panel with Simon Phipps, Allison Randal, Erik Möller, Knut Yrvin and Jonas Öberg. Johannes Brodwall was the moderator of a two-hour-long banter about the culture of Free Software. Before catching some Zs, I had a chance to upgrade the software on Håkon Lei's XO. I gave a keynote the next morning and then headed to the airport in order to get to [http:posscon.org POSSCON] in Columbia South Carolina. I didn't get to the hotel in Columbia until 1AM Thursday morning, which was conveniently located right across the street from convention center. I was a bit confused—a combination of the late hour and lack of sleep—as there was an electronic billboard advertising the Pest Control convention. POSSCON/Pest Control? Am I in the right city? I did find the conference the next morning, where I met up with a number of old friends there, including Mel Chua, David Nalley, Leslie Hawthorn, and David Trask.

At GoOpen,  I met Håkon Eriksen from the GNU Free Call project. He and his colleagues are developing a smart phone environment that draws heavily upon the Sugar desktop and collaboration metaphors. The developers are looking at making a GUI-demo available shortly using the FDroid app-repository at http://f-droid.org/.
