Nomadic conference attendee
December 12th, 2005 by HenGotta admit, I’m having fun.
I’ve met lots of people and put faces to login ids. It’s a bit odd as a social
event for me because of the magic that is the asf virtual world, I don’t
actually belong to an obvious community. I do a lot of Jakarta worrying as
chair, but does that make me a part of the Jakarta community, the officer
community or the board mailing list community. I do a little Roller, and
because other people like to overlap their communities I find myself
sitting in a Jakarta Commons group one moment and then with no warning it has
become the Struts project.
Throw in the cvs2svn work, which means that I’ve come into contact with
most of the ASF; and of course Infra itself and I’m some kind of nomadic
itinerant who is wandering around confused and bemused. To add another slice,
Byron and Garrett from SourceLabs are here, so I’ve another stopping point
on my nomadic conference lifestyle.
Very odd. Almost as if I could use some kind of networking metaphor, quick, time to trademark.
