• HDR hackfest wrap-up

  Last week I’ve been attending the HDR hackfest organized by Red Hat. The trip to Prague was rather chaotic: the morning right after the SourceHut DoS incident, I got a notification that my plane was cancelled, so had to re-book a new flight and hotel. Then a few hours before leaving for the airport, I realized that the train line to get there was cut off, so I had to take a longer route via bus (and of course, everybody taking a plane had the same idea). Thankfully Saturday evening I arrived in Prague as planned, and even had some time before the train the next day to visit the old city center with the Jewish cemetery and synagogues, and enjoy a traditional guláš. I arrived at Brno — the venue of the hackfest — on Sunday evening.

  I met with some hackfest participants Monday morning in the hotel lobby, then we joined everybody else at the Red Hat office. People from various organizations were on-site: Red Hat, KDE, System76, AMD, Igalia, Collabora, Canonical, etc. Some more people from NVIDIA, Intel and Google joined us remotely (some of them waking up at 2 AM due to their timezone!). It was super nice meeting all these folks I’ve been working with remotely for years!
