I’d love to go to debconf this year. It was a pity that I missed it last year. Unfortunately, my schedule is already getting quite crowded… :-(

As you will probably know, I’m currently at UC Berkeley. Beginning of August I’ll go to Montreal for the extreme markup languages conference.

There are two reasons which currently make me consider not going to Debconf:

  • money: If I stay in the US and go to Canada from here that is two transatlantic flights less… they aren’t cheap.

  • time: first of all, I’ll lose two whole days just for the transatlantic flights, battling jetlag not yet included. But also I have to prepare the final verion of the article and the slides for the talk. I probably won’t do that during DebConf…

On the other hand, many of my friends will be gone by july. It’s much nicer abroad if you know many people around, meet them at the university and such. But maybe there are some summer classes I can take…
