Intro and navigation
I used to keep a list of stories about going to free software events
here, along with write-ups of talks given at those events. The most
recent were from 2003. Software development moves very fast. They are
all now irrelevant. Since Google loves my pages, they are cluttering
up search results. So I have removed them all, except for the one
about Iceland,
which is much more like travel writing, and about the place and the people
rather than about free software; and the
talk I gave about bug-reporting,
because even if some of the examples are dated, the rest is much
the same still.
I still have copies of them. I think it's very unlikely, but if you really
find yourself in need of them, you can always contact me and ask.
