oSC12 wrap up

As the openSUSE Conference and all related events are over, it's time to share my thoughts how it was.

This was actually first conference ever where I helped with organizing, so it was quite new experience for me. Week before it has happened I expected quite a lot of problems, but in the end everything went more or less smoothly.

Having something like 700-800 visitors is IMHO great for first year of LinuxDays, even though it has been collocated with other conferences. Most people came on Saturday and there were less of them on Sunday. Maybe it was result of the party, which lasted for many of them till early morning (I've left around 1 AM and there were still lot of people drinking).

Besides organizing stuff, I also had my own talk about Weblate. Unfortunately not much people has attended it, but those who did gave me some valuable feedback which will be reflected in next Weblate release. Anyway if you want to see my slides from this talk, they are now available on my website.

New phpMyAdmin theme

Today, I've finally found time to process new themes for phpMyAdmin. Result of this are two theme releases.

First one was just a minor update to older theme (Darkblue/orange 2.11), which fixed behavior in Internet Exporer.

Second one was completely new theme for phpMyAdmin 3.5 - blueorange (I admit the name is not too creative). This is actually first contributed theme compatible with 3.5 series.

Of course you can find all of these on our themes page.

Bootstrapping awesome in Prague this weekend

This weekend there is going to be a lot happening in Prague - awesome combination of four conferences will happen here.

I'm sure this will be really a great event with lot of interesting things on schedule. Even if you are not interested in technical stuff, future media track might be interesting for you. And of course the event includes huge party on Saturday evening (and welcome party with pre-registration on Friday)/

Anyway if you will be around, you can meet me somewhere there, usually within organizers crew.

PS: There also nice summary of latest news available now.
