I was at FOSDEM this past week - quite enjoyable, in fact more so than
I expected. For some years I didn't go because I felt it was getting
too crowded, and I'm not really good with people. I gave only a single
talk - a lightning talk on a comparison of GPU backends - while my
friend Niels gave an excellent talk on a programming language called
rash. The highlight was a fellow in the audience asking a question
that was basically saying that there is already a better language
called rash.

I enjoyed FOSDEM quite a bit. I will try to submit more talks next
year.
