• Jonathan McDowell: OMGWTFBBQ 2023

  As is traditional for the UK August Bank Holiday weekend I made my way to Cambridge for the Debian UK BBQ. As was pointed out we’ve been doing this for more than 20 years now, and it’s always good to catch up with old friends and meet new folk.

• Steve McIntyre: We're back!

  It's August Bank Holiday Weekend, we're in Cambridge. It must be the Debian UK OMGWTFBBQ!.

  We're about halfway through, and we've already polished off lots and lots of good food and beer. Lars is making pancakes as I write this, :-) We had an awesome game of Mao last night. People are having fun!

   And nothing changes: rediscovered from past Andrew at his first Cambridge BBQ and almost the first blog post here:
  
  "Thirty second rule on sofa space - if you left for more than about 30 seconds you had to sit on the floor when you got back (I jammed myself onto a corner of the sofa once I realised I'd barely get through the crush :) )
  [Forget students in a mini / UK telephone box - how many DDs can you fit into a very narrow kitchen :) ]
  
  It's a huge, dysfunctional family with its own rules, geeky humour and in-jokes but it's MINE - it's the people I want to hang out with and, as perverse as it sounds, just being there gave me a whole new reaffirmed sense of identity and a large amount of determination to carry on "wasting my time with Linux" and Debian"
  
  The *frightening* thing - this is from August 31st 2009 ... where have the years gone in between.
