Fosdem 2008 Sunday afternoon

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks

So the last afternoon @ fosdem 2008 I ended up listening to a very informative talk on autoconf, automake and libtools. The argument was that they were the tools of the trade - and that it wasn't so complex. The rest was more a walk through and at the end I was not really convinced that those tools where not easy nor complex to use properly. The reason I ended up in this meeting was that the presentation on making robots with 8 bits controllers and linux was so crowed that there was a waiting line in front of the room.
Then I went back to the mozilla room to hear the plans that mozilla had for bringing a browser on mobile devices. The talk draw lots of attention and the room got more people. Max jumped on his chair when the speaker evoked the idea or removing Mathml from the mobile version of the browser.
Once again fosdem was very nice and I'll probably attend next year.
