This is one more of those post with some random information and updates:

One more week for holidays!!
I’m going to travel to Orlando, Florida with my girlfriend’s family for holidays, i’m going to be after 17 years in disney world again! I’m also looking forward to know the LoCo Team (if there is any) and/or random FreeSoftware enthusiast, so if you live there, drop me an e-mail so we can get in contact to find a place and time for having some beers :D

Augeas is finally in!
Augeas has already reach the ubuntu and debian archive! So it’s time to write lenses and work to have it in good shape!

Config:Model
Last week (i think) i’ve been mailed about the Config:Model project, it looks really promising to me, i’m only waiting for augeas support to package it and start playing. If it gets into that stage soon (which i hope it does) we can have UCSA (or whatever i call it at the end) for intrepid+1!!

UDS in California
I’m really exited about this, next UDS will be at google offices in Mountain View California from 8th to 12th December, that’s one week after my final exams, so i won’t need to ask for permission at the university! Also i already have my visa for the united states, so there are less problems to go there (just the financial one :P). So i hope i can see you all in there!!

New Maintainer process
I’ve started my journey into Debian development. I’ve been contributing since i started with ubuntu development (really less that for ubuntu, but still forwarding a lot of stuff), i’m the maintainer of 2 packages now and i will start co-maintaining one more package, so i thought it was time to start the NM process, i founded an advocate (thank you kees!!) and i jumped in, it’s a long and not quick process but an awesome one, i still have a lot of debian in my heard, since was the distro which introduced me into Linux and i want to pay that back!

New Mentoring Model
Last week we have been discussing a lot inside the mentoring reception team and with other MOTU’s on improving the mentoring program, we start writing a draft, making changes, discussing more, and finally we released it!

I think this was all the random stuff going on in my life this last days!
