Debconf6
A few weeks ago, I went to Debconf for the first time. For those of you who don't know--this is the annual conference (symposium?) for Debian Developers. Debconf6 was held in Oaxtepec MX.
Oaxtepec is a big gated resort with several hotels and many small cabañas for rent. There's a water park attached. I was told that it's a popular vacation spot for residents of Mexico City. Quite beautiful and really peaceful! None of the resort staff spoke English, and I don't speak Spanish, so communication was sometimes touch and go, but everyone was friendly and helpful.
I met some new friends and had a good time attending meetings and hanging out at the wireless hotspot. As far as I could tell, the main topics of discussion amonst the Debian Developers were whether to ban kernel drivers that use binary firmware from the Debian repositories; and whether to accept or oppose the GPL v3 license.
I also had a chance to relax. This was my first vacation in maybe 10 years. The highlights of the trip were:
- hanging with my honey
- meeting Mark Shuttleworth
- eating at an Argentinian restaurant
- exploring with Robin and Debbie Miller
- taking a siesta every day
- chatting with Mark Allyn

Meeting Mark Shuttleworth was a highlight?!?!?
Taking a siesta every day- that I can live with here in Greece lol
Edit: I should also have mentioned that I'm glad you had a happy break in Mexico, maybe next time in Greece.
