Hi All, I attended OSDC 2011 last week (Nov 14-18) in Canberra, Australia. This is a conference targeted specifically at/for people who develop on/with F/OSS, but is not, say, Linux-specific (although there was a reasonable contingent of folks I'd previously met at linux.conf.au present). It's been running for several years, but this is the first time I managed to get there. There were between 230-240 attendees, two days of miniconfs and three days of conference proper. It was very well run. Schedule etc. is available at http://2011.osdc.com.au/ I gave a talk about OBS entitled Cross-Distribution Packaging Made Easy, which went very well. It was part walkthrough (with regular slides and screenshots) and part live demo (I packaged a little "hello world" style C program onstage). Slides and an audio recording are now linked off http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Presentations#openSUSE_Build_Service - there should also be a video at some point, when it goes live, I'll link to it too. Special thanks to Adrian Schröter, Andreas Jaeger, Sascha Peilicke and Jos Poortvliet, who until now were probably mostly unaware that I was reading/watching their past OBS presentations while I wrote mine. I guess maybe an audience of 50+. I asked who develops and packages software (less than half raised hands), for more than one distro (only one?), who knew about OBS (5-10? but probably closer to 5) and who'd used it already (one). The audience response was positive (as were other random people I talked to during the week), so I expect some number of new OBS users soon :) I also took the opportunity to distribute my last 10 or so openSUSE 11.4 promo DVDs.
