The Subversion Summit was a huge success, you can read various bits about on the shared Subversion developer blog.
I’m currently heads-down, working on a new musical-like chidren’s play — Ray Bradbury’s Dandelion Wine, which is opening at the Chicago Children’s Theatre next month.
And finally, a local magazine published an interview of me and my two engineering cohorts at the Google Chicago office. Whee!
I’m back in Silicon valley this week, attending two different gatherings.
The first was yesterday, a summit for mentors who participated in Google’s Summer of Code program. It was really incredible — about 80 representatives from a huge array of open source projects all gathering at Google to talk about their experiences mentoring students. Fitz and I got to give our fun ‘how to protect your project from poisonous people’ talk that we gave at the last OSCON, and it was like a group therapy session. Lots of nodding heads and empathy all around.
Monday through Wednesday of this week is the very first Subversion Developer Summit. Subversion has a thriving developer community, but we’ve never actually gathered in one place before… most of us have never met in person! So we’re going to be holed up in a big conference room at Google this week, planning the future of Subversion. Results of our discussions will probably be posted to some sort of group blog.
Fun times!
