The conclusion was &#8220;UDD is ready, go play with it!&#8221; so you know what you should do now! FOSDEM in general was great and huge (see the <a href=\"http:\/\/vimeo.com\/3127287\">video from Quim Gil<\/a> if you still doubt that) as usual.<\/p>\n<p>On a more sad note, the worst talk of the week-end was without any possible doubt Frans Pop&#8217;s release team bashing. Nobody is claiming that the release management of the lenny release cycle was perfect: there&#8217;s always room for improvement. But given the context and the constraints, I think that they did a very good job. Frans&#8217; talk boiled down to: &#8220;The release team doesn&#8217;t know what they are doing, I would have done much better because I&#8217;m so qualified.&#8221; Giving such talks at FOSDEM, in front of an audience with many people not involved in Debian development, is really insulting. To make things worse, he finished the talk late, not leaving any time for questions\/discussion, so the audience might be left with the impression that his opinions are representative of the opinions of DDs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course, I was in Brussels this week-end, for FOSDEM.
