  • In Saalfelden, Austria, preparing my slides. #
  • @glynmoody frightening. Will they also index it? #BBG Big Brother Google. #
  • Nice. Got 2 room suite here in Saalfelden. Can relax a bit. #
  • Thought experiment. Fully transparent company. All communication via twitter. Everything public. Would it work? #zcs #
  • with wiesngaudi.tv we already did a first step. #zcs is Zero Cost Startup #
  • @tonnerre yep wrt research. But eps for web2.0 it might be a nice experiment. Community could help. #zcs #
  • @tonnerre eg asking for swag, community could point out good prices, companies etc. #zcs #
  • @tonnere most OS/FS projects already are #zcs. #
  • @floschi or don’t try the experiment in germany ;-) #
  • @tonnerre NDAs are not a problem, #zcs is simply not compatible. So it will have to work on different fields. #
  • The real question is simple: is full transparency possible in the corporate field. #zcs #
  • @ruiseabra you mean the UG (german) – will check with my friends at #wiesngaudi.tv #
  • Preparing for the gala dinner. I guess the audience was quite impressed. Got a lot of positive feedback. Makes me smile :-) #
  • @tonnerre :-) so you saw pictures of our royal family! #
  • @sandersch have you twitterized your coffee machine? ;-) #
  • @mjasay in order to reach balance, you need opposite poles. That’s why Free Software matters even more IMHO. #
  • Ebay schaltet Blogs ab und empfiehlt, Beiträge “auszudrucken oder zu speichern”. Klingt very ‘95 ;-) http://is.gd/3Mx7q #
  • @ianweller http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6IQ_FOCE6I ;-) #
  • Nice one. TAP now says they cannot send me my luggage as I never claimed it in Frankfurt. I never *was* in Frankfurt! Cancelled! #TAPfail #
  • @lfcorreia1 Not really, they say if I didn’t claim it after arrival, they can’t help. But I never TOOK that flight as TAP cancelled it. ;-) #
  • Go, Sabine, Go!! http://is.gd/3MBWY #btw09 #
  • @carlopiana which model? My Bold is quite robust. Battery sux but I tend to use my BB almost 24/7 … ;-) #
  • @glynmoody another brick in the fundament of OpenEverything? #
  • @glynmoody Entente Cordiale is back? ;-) #
  • @fabsh sorry for that ;-) #
  • @fabsh we are all sorry! And we feel sorry for that too! So let’s insult a bit ;-) #
  • Better: avoid windows? RD @harishpillay Can someone please initiate a class action suit against MS for this – http://tinyurl.com/yeg6lt9 #
  • @floschi now don’t tell me you didn’t know that part of Oktoberfest with alcohol! I am shocked! ;-) #
  • Off to bed. Tmrw/thu slazburg, fri Weimar. #needsleep #
  • ♺ @sixtus: Ach Ihr jungen Dinger! Ich habe 16 Jahre Kohl überstanden. Merkel/Westerwelle wird diese Zeit an Scheißigkeit kaum toppen können. #
  • Need to gete out of bed and into car. Office is waiting. #
  • @tonnerre almost :-) #
  • @sandersch no, I am back at 80%. #
  • @flochi seems there is work to do aftr #btw09 … #
  • @tonnerre hehe. #
  • Ma schauen ob die !piraten mit den wahlkampfgeldern mehr als nur party machen. #
  • @harishpillay as I am looking for a macbook … What keyboard? #
  • Biene Maja Koalition ist ganz nett :-) #btw09 #
  • Update wrt #TAPfail. According to INAC this is NOT a case of Force Majeure. So I can claim acc to EU regulation. #
  • Writing up claim to sent to TAP, INAC, Lufthansa. #TAPfail #
  • Wegen Überhangmandate allein 10 mehr Bundestagsabgeordnete aus BaWue. Wozu Wahlkreise? http://is.gd/3KrIx #btw09 #fail #
  • CDU 33.8 + FDP 14.6 == 48.4% Sitze im Bundestag 229+93=332 = 53,38% von 622 Sitzen. Komische Mathematik. #btw09 #fail #
  • @tonnerre ist halt wegen der ueberhangmandate eh alles sinnlos. #
  • @glynmoody soon we will have to put ourselves on the X-Ray belt next to our bags … #
  • Westerwelle: Wir sind in Deutschland, Fragen nur auf Deutsch! #BBC #btw09 http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,651842,00.html #
  • @jkeating I thought jurors are not allowed to communicate? #
  • RT @carlopiana: RD @glynmoody: “FSFE to EC: Don’t waste an opportunity with a hasty deal – http://bit.ly/3wuUFL I concur: http://is.gd/3KOxK #
  • @fabsh. Westerwilli sieht schon irgendwie wie Bush aus, oder? #
  • @fabsh Englisch a la Bush ist aber wie deutsch a la Merkel – syntaktisch korrekt aber konsequent Inhaltsfrei ;-) #
  • @floschi so fill it up at Wiesn? ;-) #
  • @floschi seems I will not have a single night at #wiesn :-( too much travels. #
  • @floschi tmrw office, wed/thu slazburg, fri Weimar, sat/sun family … #
  • Munich. Back. #
  • @harishpillay I was scheduled to be back last thursday evening… #
  • So election results in Germany are no surprise. Pirate party is not in. #
  • @greve well – biggest problem seems to be that a lot less voters showed up at all. Which is a sign of democracy #fail … #
  • So with the results of #btw09 stabilizing, we will need to get organized wrt net neutrality, copywrong and restriction management. #
  • Wenn Internetausdrucker regieren … #btw09. #
  • Wenn Verlierer gewinnen. Und gewinner verlieren. #btw09 #
  • So aftermath of #TAPFail begins. Why didn’t they offer me at least some food coupons? A hotel? Will check regulations. #
  • Now the odyssee of getting back my luggage will start. #TAPfail will keep me busy. #
  • @lfcorreia1 so did the pilots get more money now? I hope TAP will not ignore what happened and will at least send me my luggage. #
  • Gruene sind also effektiv die kleinste Partei im Bundestag. Lustig. #btw09 #
  • German lazyweb. You didn’t vote. Stayed at home playing WoW and being smartass in online discussions. you definitely #fail. #
  • @fabsh : yep. Agreed !piraten is a #failboat. Let them sail to whereever. #
  • @fabsh as I am not allowed to vote – after 26 years in germany – I couldn’t care less, but I DO care! #
  • So net result of #btw09: those who voted leftish made sure that conservatives win. Congrats SPD and Linke. Your stupidity made this happen. #
  • @fabsh don’t worry nothing will really change. #
  • @tonnerre don’t think so. For that they need 66%, which they don’t have. #
  • @tonnerre problem will be that we will now be governed by lobbyists. And no opposition. #
  • @fabsh wait and see. Too much is dictated from outside. Westerwelle is such an idiot that will block real chnage anyway. € #
  • @fabsh let’s discuss again after we see the coalition contract. #
  • @tonnere: my gut feeling says no. With Sabine Leutheusser no chance. Hoping she becomes interior minister … #
  • @fabsh don’t forget Sabine Leutheusser. She is anti SWPat, pro OS/FS. I know her personally. Good girl. #
  • @fabsh fine. Let’s drink beer and talk about girls ;-) #
  • @tonnerre she did a lot of good stuff in the background and has very good connections. At least a small sign of hope. Not all is lost. #
  • Well – Möllemann was right after all. Project 18 seemed to work. ;-) #fdp #btw09 #
  • Also – Roland Koch faengt an wie Derrick auszusehen :-) #btw09 #
  • Komisches Wahlrecht. CDU -1.4% == 14 Sitze mehr. #
  • Waking up in Lisboa. Final(?) Try to get out of here. #
  • Slowly getting on top again. The Tom Hanks Airport feeling is starting to leave. Never ever again I want to have such problems. #
  • But still – first have to leave Lisboa, I am still here. #
  • I bought a toothbrush, shaver etc. So I start to look and feel human again :-) #
  • @sandersch it is. It feels like you are suddenly a ghost that noone can see. Kafkaesk describes it best. #
  • @sandersch but I can now tell you everything about every corner of Lisboa airport :-) #
  • First desperate acts of violence here in Lisboa. I can understand. Dear TAP, you *knew* this could come. You didn’t prepare for it. #
  • @ianweller test test #
  • Dear #lufthansa. Get me out of this hell in Lisboa. Please. Get me to germany or switzerland. #
  • @mairin thx for support. I am really at my limits. And still 6 hours of queue ahead of me. No hotel, no solution. 23 hours no sleep. #
  • @harishpillay international. Lisboa, Portugal. And I am now 23 hours awake and still 6 hours of queue in front of me. #
  • Cannot keep eyes open. Lying on the floor. Will soon either fall asleep or faint. I cannot believe this is real. #
  • Would do anything to get on any plane out of here direction germany, austria, switzerland. Can I sue TAP for doing this to me? #
  • @quaid nope. Must get their approval first. #
  • @harishpillay its 3000 km from Lisboa to Munich. And in order to get anything I must talk to TAP first. That is the 10hour queue I am in. #
  • Just called lufthansa. One business class would be available. But TAP will not refund. So now I am officially stranded with no more option. #
  • @cinemare travel insurance won’t help here. 95% of all flights cancelled. #
  • I am honestly now at the end of my energy. The queue will take another 10 hours and I am already 24 hours without sleep. #
  • @cinemare as you can expect in such a situation there is virtually no hotel room available. #
  • Taking a 2 hour nap. Somehow. #
  • So from progress in the last few hours, the queue will still last 10 hours. How can this happen? Why doesn’t TAP DO something? #
  • In the next few years, der TAP pilots, you can only hope we never ever meet. You ruined everything for your little bit of money. #
  • t’was a cheap night in the cosy airport of Lisboa. Desperation turned to apathy. But hope still lives. #
  • @ianweller the queue is still at 6 hours before o can talk to anyone that might be able to help. It is unbelievable. #
  • I have been in the queue at Lisboa Airport from 21:00 yesterday till now (4:00) with still 6 hours to go. I call this scandalous, TAP. #
  • Please all use your contacts to bring TAP to reason. 600 passengers the whole night in a queue to two poor employees. Scandalous. #
  • @sandersch I am now at 28 hours without sleep. And still no help at all. #
  • Dear #staralliance. Throw out TAP now. The scandalous “managemental of the pilote strike is unacceptable. Oh, and get me outta here. #
  • Solution for #TAPStrikeScandal: bring busses. Bring us to other airports. Madrid. #
  • Rumour: Portuguese Government wants to cover the TAP strike scandal. No media, no press. #
  • So all my portuguese friends – inform your friends, journalists. Hundreds of passengers still waiting. I am waiting since 21:00. #
  • So after 10 hours TAP is opening more windows. So we might go down from 6 to 3 hours of waiting in the queue. #
  • Ofcourse I already missed the early flights to Munich. So maybe I can fly tmrw. Or monday. Or whenever TAP thinks its the right time. #
  • Radio journalist finally arrived! We need a facebook page! Website! TAPDisaster09 or sth. Can someone set it up? ;-) #
  • Live coverage at 7am in portuguese radio! Stay tuned! Shadowman is ready to rumble :-) #
  • @tonnerre we were at least 5000 passengers with cancelled flights. At least 1000 of them had to spend the night in the queue. #
  • @tonnerre but now there is a ticket for a flight in my hands. #
  • It only took from 21:00 yesterday till now to get a ticket back to Munich from TAP. I guess they will sell it as superb service. #
  • @tonnerre I will tell the world when I actually board. Somehow I don’t trust TAP atm ;-) #
  • I am officially tired an will get some sleep now. Expect me back tmrw. #
  • What a night. The show now closes. Thanks all for your support. Let’s pray this will never happen to me again … #
  • @floschi @floeff I will NOT make it. The whole pilot strike drama changed everything. Still in Lisboa. #
  • @floschi I am still in Lisboa. Depressing. #
  • @floschi unknown. That’s the problem. #
  • @floschi stuck in Lisboa, back to MUC at sunday, hrmpf. #
  • Yes. I am still in Lisboa. The drama doesn’t end. Hopefully tmrw I can get out. #
  • Saw Luis Figa at Hotel bar. At least a bit of fun in these dark times. #
  • Figo #
  • @floschi TAP should go bankrupt. They tortured 1200 people. And I still don’t know how to get out. #
  • So for once and all times @ruiseabra is un.be.lievable. He helped, didn’t ask and even got me warm! Pasteis de Belem. I love him! #
  • Taking a well deserved bath in Lisboa. Never again I want to be in this situation. Still unknown how to get back to MUC. #
  • @krisbuytaert rui called me ;-) so it would have worked without. #
  • After almost 40 hours without sleep, I DO enjoy a relaxing bath with a #heineken at the SAS Radisson in Lisboa. #
  • @ianweller nope. But my travel angel will get me back. For sure without TAP involved. I will be in MUC on sunday, possibly via Paris. #
  • @sandersch at least not in the minibar ;-) #
  • @ianweller she is. Definitely. She gets things done. She gets me outta here, no matter what. She is an Angel. #
  • And up again. At 4am. Packing stuff here in Hamburg to take the plane to Lissabon. Hoping to sleep whyle flying. #
  • Dear #lufthansa why don’t you simply open more baggage drop offs when you have a giant line of people waiting in #HAM? #fail #
  • RD einfeldt: ODF made a National Standard of Vietnam, TCVN 7978:2009. http://bit.ly/8BhZB . Truly free standards on the move! #
  • #boarding #TP565 fom #HAM to #LIS. But a coffee before I fly out. #
  • Happy tourists around me, while I only want to get some sleep. This is going to be fun ;-) #
  • Now waiting for the bunch of crying kids next to me to go in silent mode. Ready for take-off :-) #
  • In Lisboa! Still tired. Hoping for good coffee. #
  • Smoking a cigarette while waiting for @ruiseabra at lisbao airport. Dammit don’t have his cellphone. #
  • Dear lazyweb – can you help with rui seabras cellphone?? #
  • @greve @krisbuytaert THX! He is stuck in traffic but will be here in 10 Minutes. Time for cigarettes ;-) #
  • BTW @greve++ and @krisbuytaert++ for helping poor flying dutchman find his frirnds everywhere :-) #
  • As always. Too short. Am so tired, guess will fall to bed at 18:00 or so … #
  • In Lisboa at the seventh encontro nacional sobre tecnologia aberta. #
  • Portuguese people are unbelievably nice! Community Gold Status! #
  • @sandersch we need a law that forces computer manuacturers to always have two OS on a computer ;-) #
  • @ruiseabra you ROCK!! Thx so much! #
  • @ruiseabra :-) #
  • Enjoying the sun outside in Lisboa. How very nice! #
  • @ruiseabra Be Very Afraid ;-) #
  • @krisbuytaert instant coffee? Ouch! #
  • @ruiseabra now I need a cigarette ;-) #
  • Novell still mentions AppArmor here in Lisboa – AFAIR that is not really true anymore … ;-) #
  • @ruiseabra xen? Integrated HV? Novell is funny ;-) and reality is rather VMWare ;-) #
  • I don’t want silverlight/moonlight/flash. I want open standards. #
  • @tonnerre ;-) agreed. #
  • So suddenly we have a Novell VP and M$ on stage for the panel discussion. Let the fun begin :-) #
  • So here at Lisboa, sergio.martinho@microsoft.com asked to send him details on interop issues. So do! But stay friendly. #
  • Chaos. Pilot strike in Lisboa. In queue for the next 8 hours. No assistance by TAP. I am very angry. #
  • 95% of all TAP flights cancelled. People walking around waiting for any information since 10 in the morning. It is now midnight. #LIS #Fail #
  • Giant masses of people at security Check, MUC Terminal 1, at D in the morning. Sigh. #
  • So my habit of being really early pays of this time. Still quite a chance that I will be late at the gate. #
  • Dear airport #MUC, fix these problems at Terminal 1A. Too many flights and too less security checkpoints result in annoyed people. #
  • And ofcourse stupid arrogant british tourists don’t care about standing in the line. Will have problems getting my flight. #
  • Needless to say those brits were drunk and straight from oktoberfest. Will ask who will pay my extra costs now. #
  • #boarding #ab6296 from #MUC to #HAM. Made it! NO thanks to MUC this time. Bad organisation and ruthless people is not good. #
  • Landed in Hamburg. #needcoffee is brutally hammering on me. #
  • @glynmoody wrt german minister – and that’s why his ministry refuses to use Linux and sticks to M$ ;-) the foreign ministry is Linux-only… #
  • @psyq123 its Oktoberfest, so I arrived already 1.5 hours in advance. Still – I was not amused. But I made it! In Hamburg now. #
  • @glynmoody they showed how they save 60% on IT compared to other ministries. But guess what – yep. Now they are under pressure. #
  • @glynmoody so could be they are forced to switch back to Windows. Hrmpf. They refuse. Big time. #
  • @ruiseabra I bet ;-) still working on my presentations … #
  • @dantheman any shadowmen around? ;-) #
  • @dantheman not my region :-( #
  • @berrange you see no risk wrt security, datamining with that? Just curious, I am very picky in that regard. ;-) #
  • Spending today in Hamburg reminds me of my dutch origin. Sometimes I do miss the sea. But not that often, as bavarian beer is so … #
  • @tonnere the dutch royal family is more cool, though ;-) #
  • Oops. FB seems to have some problems with their sessions. #
  • @krisbuytaert GPLv2 or 3? #
  • @krisbuytaert not online ATM, only Blackberry :-( #
  • @floschi @floeff ohne Floschi hab ich Angst!! ;-) #
  • @ianweller must be funny :-) #
  • Note2self learn more languages. Start with Hamburg. Some here do not accept slides in english. So I will translate especially for him. #
  • @wiesngauditv das ist irgendwie intransparent, twitter sperrt da relativ zuegig wenn die an spam glauben. #
  • Life aint simple. But interesting #aeds494 #
  • @floschi Nacht durchgefahren?? #
  • @floschi jo. Morgen um 6 nach Hamburg, Do um 6 nach Lissabon, kenn das wohl :-) #
  • @floschi und freitag #opensourcetreffen ;-) #
  • @floschi wir sind schon arme Kerle ;-) #
  • @glynmoody topsy.com ia online for a while already … #
  • So ChromeOS is SuSE? #strange #unexpected #interesting http://ur1.ca/c4o4 #
  • “Sun Micro losing $100 mln a month, Ellison says” http://is.gd/3yzML #
  • @karsten why should Larry spin off? MySQL is not that much alive anyway IMHO … #
  • @krisbuytaert Monty is not really convinced AFAICS. #
  • @krisbuytaert and remember – I am talking business, not open source. So I look at MySQL commercial licensing revenue. #
  • @krisbuytaert we at Red Hat have subscriptions, not dual licensing – you should know that ;-) #
  • @carlopiana IMHO the MySQL story at least shows that dual licensing is not the best solution. #
  • @krisbuytaert I guess so ;-) Free Software is more than just Open Source … #
  • @krisbuytaert and I am very happy that Red Hat is more participant as leader. Communities rule themselves. #
  • @floschi URL? #
  • Quite sure this is fake. Google, clean it up! http://is.gd/3yPf4 #
  • Fake. Fake. Fake. Lame. Susestudio already removed it as it seems, now google needs to clean up their stuff. http://is.gd/3yR35 #
  • ♺ @glynmoody: Asking for an Open Internet in Europe – http://www.euopeninternet.eu/ you can sign the petition, if you want #
  • @glynmoody we need openinternet.global. Should be mandated by UN. #
  • So due to won stupidity I will land in Hamburg at 8:25 but event starts at 15:00. So if you need Red Hat’s Evangelist, pick me up :-) #
  • @glynmoody grassroots + top level is the success plan. Leave out the middle layer ;-) #
  • @lessig sound just like “Yeah, CDs are a bit pricey at the start compared to vinyl but that’ll change” ;-) #
  • Waiting. Waiting. #aeds494. #
  • Looking for a used MacBook. Don’t ask why. #aeds495 #
  • Klasse Idee: http://is.gd/3w5QE #
  • @glynmoody do you really wonder about this? BGates will never change IMHO. What worked for Microsoft also works elsewhere in his opinion … #
  • RD: @planetlimux: [german] Steffi’s article about the visit of students from Seattle/Redmond at !LiMux: http://planetlimux.org/node/16 #
  • @fabsh intravenous caffeine++ ;-) #
  • @fabsh or two to three Mass @ wiesn ;-) #
  • @karsten We need to shift the discussion to Open Standards IMHO … #
  • @glynmoody citing Matrix “Some things change. Others don’t” ;-) #
  • Welt.Macht.Geld – jetzt vorbestellen! http://is.gd/3wgcs #
  • Nice one, Spot. On Upstream and worshipping. http://is.gd/3wo9I #
  • DELL also to become next IBM? ♺ @harishpillay: RT: @nytimes: Dell to Buy Perot Systems for $3.6 Billion http://bit.ly/172oKr #
  • @glynmoody all we need is an untrackable UUID generator. #
  • So ORCL/SUN’s most shiny new product runs on …. Linux! Slowlaris, anyone? ;-) http://is.gd/3wBeA #
  • @tonnerre wake me up when solaris gets fast ;-) #
  • @tonnerre or when Solaris has a decent package management with dependencies ;-) #
  • Expenses sux0r. Wiesn Rux0r. #aeds495 #
  • Positionen unserer Abgeordneten zum Thema Freie Software – interessant. Es scheint schon Templates zu geben. http://is.gd/3wJ6S #
  • Du bist Cutter? In München? #wiesngauditv braucht dich! Meld dich vie twitter oder FB!! #
