GUADEC so far has been lots of fun, as usual. The usual com­bi­na­tion of friendly hack­ers and provoca­tive ideas is very ener­giz­ing, and the Eng­lish ales are deli­cious. It’s also awe­some to hear from some folks who have set up or are think­ing about Review Board.

When we were dis­cussing attend­ing GUADEC at VMware, we tried to fig­ure out what we could do. It seems like T-shirts are such a com­mod­ity these days that they’re no fun. We con­sid­ered giv­ing out umbrel­las, which I still think would have been a great idea given the loca­tion. There was one idea that really stuck out, though.

We have a small sup­ply of licenses to VMware Work­sta­tion 6.00 avail­able to give away. We’re going to try to give them away either at Alex’s follow-up talk or at the party tonight. In par­tic­u­lar, if you have some­thing really awe­some that you want to apply Work­sta­tion to, you may con­vince us to give you spe­cial pri­or­ity :)

As usual, VMware is hir­ing! If you have any inter­est in work­ing with a bunch of awe­some hack­ers on a super-exciting tech­nol­ogy (in some sweet brand-new build­ings), come talk to me or Alex
