A day was spent with fun.

After I found a hotel and managed to turn my EU electricity jacks to UK sockets (I got the last adaptor in the nearest electricity shop) I read how to find filesystem conference, but it was already too late, so I missed the whole event.

Anyway, till dinner there was noting interesting, I tried some local beer, walked around and generally slacked. Dinner was fun - after some bits of food I opened a present - a liter of Nemiroff vodka and people started to feel themself good. I believe about one quarter of attendees sat with us and tried a russian present, but most of them usually ran away after that :)
Next time I will get two bottles.
After dinner I checked local pubs with Andi Kleen and his brother until late night (where I saw a person with OpenSolaris t-shirt btw).
Ugh, and I had a small talk about how linux maintainers and big-name developers suck when things come to patches from others and silence from core people.

I tried to say to people, that such crowdy meeting likely will not and can not end up in a good technical discussion, but eventually everyone dropped to it and started to talk about Linux, about kernel and related stuff...

Anyway, that was really fun day. Let's see how first day of the conference will go.

I'm here.

I've seen already number of kernel hackers, although talked a bit only with Matt Mackall, since we both failed to get keys (wrong hotel, now everything is ok).
I found that I have terrible accent and people quite frequently can not understand me. Usually after louder pronuncation things became clear.

The only known for me people I saw are David Miller and Alan Cox.

So far I only advised to drop all our scheduled conversations and play football on the near field. No one replied yet.
