Good weekend, this one. Old flame Soraya came up to visit, and we all headed out for a curry on Sunday night. It was nice to spend a weekend not working for once. 🙂 After the success at the local governance event, I started following up on some of the leads from the...

It was a good day yesterday. Over at Villa Park (a place I have never been to, and a place that is pretty damn impressive) we run the OpenAdvantage booth to represent Open Source at an event dominated by local government. We got there early, set the stand up, spoke to...
