Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Travel plans for September
Planning my travels for September made me yearn for a travel assistant — it’s impressive how much time one can waste with crappy booking websites and clueless hotel staff. On the other hand, doing it myself allowed me to shuffle things around until I was happy with the plan. Not sure my imagined travel assistant would have had that much patience ;–)
Anyway, tomorrow I’ll be attending the 2nd Automotive Linux Summit (Sep 19-20) and the schedule is packed with interesting talks. Sadly, there won’t be any time for me to visit Warwick Castle again, which is just 15 minutes away from the venue. They say it’s for kids, but the Warwick Castle daily shows are well worth a visit, even for grown-up kids.
The Automotive Linux Summit clashes with the X Developer Conference (Sep 19-21) in Nuremberg, which means I can only attend XDC on Friday (and perhaps the beer hike on Saturday). Now, I haven’t suddenly become a X hacker over night, but I want to know how the progress in Wayland is perceived and whether there’s some good advice for our Wayland input method work. It would have been a great opportunity for me to learn more about EGL and new trends in OpenGL, but I’ll have to leave that to my colleague Jan Arne Petersen, who will attend the whole conference.
After staying in Nuremberg for the weekend, I will spend a few days in Munich (not for the Wiesn) before I head home to Berlin.
Thanks to Openismus for sending me to ALS and XDC!
