P2P Conference

P2P conference in Veliko Turnovo - Bulgaria ... what can I say about this? I was part from this event as listener :) Actually the company I work for right now sponsored the development team to be on this conference.
First impressions. Yes there are some. Good organization, using almost in every presentation Linux (me: big fan).
I will mention here few presentations that I was able to listen an liked them very much.

Ruby on Rails
Excellent presentation! This one definitely motivated me to try Ruby on Rails. I was thinking from 2-3 years to start in this direction but there was always something more urgent in some other direction or some other language. Ok! I'm there, I've downloaded 20-30 books and I'm starting. Weee!

PHP on the D-BUS
Presentation by Derick Rethans. He is developing the D-BUS extension for PHP (currently in Pecl's CSV) this could save me a lot of work while developing the OSCTry thing. On a later stage I can try to make it work with this extension. I'll share my experience then. And one last thing for this presentation. I was able to see from a close distance a OpenMoko FreeRunner :D but more on this topic some other time. Now back to the conference.

The happy developer was also very entertaining presentation.
Since I'm a very happy developer most of the thing mentioned there I'm doing and I can say it works! The essence actually of being happy and satisfied from your work (on only for programmers) is to be able to develop your self and to keep the fire for more and more knowledge burning and growing.

Now we are coming to the this presentation:

The use of the social networks in corporations.
This was very helpful to me because a week ago I was able to convince the owner of the company to build our “internal” social network. Now I can see even more the necessity of this SN for the company internally and for our customers externally. We have more then 100 people and BTW all working under Linux ;) except 5-6 Dev PCs.

Ok ... One last thing InitLab. This is something like “club-laboratory” for developers who can develop and collaborate. I'll have to think about this. We could do something like this in Veliko Turnovo too.
