Notes:
Linux user and hard core Free Software advocate since 1992. In 1999 started OLS (The Ottawa Linux Symposium).
Founded the Puffin Group with Chris J. Beard in September 1998.
Founded Steamballoon Incorporated in 2001.
Most recently started the GCC Developer's Summit, a conference dedicated to the continued development of the GNU Compiler Collection of Free Software compilers.
Now the GCC Developers' Summit is 4 days away. Close to 90 of the most significant GCC developers will be arriving on Saturday for three days of intense highly technical talks and discussions on the future of GCC.
Finally after months the GCC Summit is happening. Industry support has been excellent and we hope to bring together all the key players for a meaningful and productive event
At home, 3 months of additional fish tank upgrades and the marine reef system is looking pretty cool. The whole setup is teaching me a whole new appreciation for closed (and open) system ecologies as well as a hellalot of things like coral, anemonae, shrimp, clam, snail, biology (I avoided using the latin names mostly because I fail to spell them correctly.
New house is working out pretty well, the headaches of the hell that is Conservation Coop is long behind us now. A word of advice to people, even if the housing looks good don't give others the ability to pass 'bylaws' on you unless they're armed.
Well things are underway for a GCC Developers Summit. Now all we need is enough content to fill three days and some sponsors to help out with the costs.
Planning for GCC (working name for a GCC Compiler Conference) is underway. Looks like April 15-18th, in Ottawa, likely at the very nice Westin conference space.
Next step is to identify everyone who might be interested in attending such an event... which would be a lot easier if you'd just email me ajhATfinux.org and tell me :)
Nearly recovered from this years OLS and starting to get some interesting ideas. One thing that I've discovered is that I actually like running conferences (well the technical focused kind at least, I still can't stomach much marketing hype).
So, for next year I'm currently in the planning stages for a GCC & Toolchain conference. I'd appreciate any feedback "ajh at finux.org" as I'm currently trying to judge numbers and set dates.
More as things develop
