MoFo Weekly Report 2007-11-02
Most of this week focused on events and task triage. I was holed up in a small, comfortable hotel in Slovenia with good Net access. This, combined with a chest cold, kept me nicely focused on doing lots of small tasks.
Events
- Missed our bi-weekly MoCo/MoFo events triage call - the call was a bit late and, being sick, I had to sleep. However, the call had to be 1/2 hour long and they had a lot of work to do on FOSS.in - so I didn't feel too bad for missing.
- I'll catch up with Mary next week so that we don't get out of sync.
- Helped Alix and Chris Hoffman build some connections in Mexico for Chris Hoffman's participation in the 6th Annual GNU & Linux Festival in Puerto Vallarta.
- eLiberatica 2008 - a Romanian Free Software and Open Source conference
- I'll provide a keynote on behalf of the Foundation.
- The Foundation will cover my travel expenses for the event.
- Need to plan what message we want to share with Romanians, as well as what we hope to lear from Romanian.
- Note: I'm part of the chair for this event.
- F2C: Freedom to Connect
- We've been invited to participate (and sponsor) by the conference organizer.
- I'll work on this with Mary, Frank and others to try to determine what our participation can and should be.
- Need to review materials and make a strawman recommendation.
- Intl. PHP Conference 2008
- Started rewriting my keynote for IPC - including an explicit focus on the Mozilla Manifesto
- OpenNordic Open Source Business Conference
- Received a direct invitation to attend through my work on the InnoCenter project.
- I can't find a public page for the event?!? I do have the schedule, which has a lot of Nordic electronic movers and shakers (like Mikko Puhakka and Heidi Grande Røys) attending.
Task Triage
- Cleaned up a bunch of small tasks.
- Gave up on my overdue reports for OSCON and FrOSCon. I want to make sure that I don't get behind on my current tasks.
- Need to make public feeds of my MoFo tasks that I manage in Hiveminder.
Misc.
- Visited Brian King of BRIKS and MozDev at his home in Slovenia. Had a good chance to talk about MozDev, the electronic frontier in Slovenia and Mozilla in general. Also had a chance to see some of beautiful Slovenia.
- Met Jaka Železnikar, developer of the Črke · Letters, Disorganizer and Changer / Spreminjevalec FireFox art extensions.
- Meeting Brian, Jaka, Marko, Mitja and Rok (part of the Housing.si team) was great.
- Finally had some Mozilla Foundation business cards printed - still waiting for them to arrive.
- Tried to get more info on the state of the electronic frontier in Slovenia. Need to write a brief report. The report won't be much, but it should provide a strawman for Slovenians to correct. :)
- I love my job. :)
Next Week
- Attend Intl. PHP Conference
- Write plan for what we hope to do/learn from the event
- Write brief electronic frontier Slovenia report
- Wiki gardening on the MoFo wiki
- Given keynote at the Intl. PHP Conference
- Plan attendance at upcoming events

I don't think we talked enough about the tech scene here, or at least I was not forthcoming with information. I think I was probably distracted a little, but also because I am not in Ljubljana I feel a bit outside of the scene. But we did talk about Cyberpipe and 'spletne urice', but there is a lot more going on. If you need more information, just let me know.
