This is a short summary of my first visit to the Kieler Linux und Open Source Days in Kiel, the capital of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany's north.
Kieler Linux und Open Source Days is a regional exhibition and conference aiming at new users of Free Software and GNU/Linux in particular. The conference takes place in the "KITZ" (Kiel Center of Innovation and Technology) which is currently home to more than sixty companies (closed- and open source).
While Floschi attended the OpenWorldForum , i happily accepted to give the keynote in Kiel, talk about LiMux, Linux in general and last but not least: Do some networking.
The keynote went pretty well, not to mention the fact that OO Impress ate some of the pics in my presentation. Some extra laughs for the audience ;-)
Many pepole were interested in the details of our project, what the main problems are and how we solved them. I got some nice input and hours of chat and discussion flew by so fast it was a blur! The Wollmux was interesting to some attendees, also. One might think the Wollmux userbase will grow soon.
Reminder to all:
If you have any questions regarding the Wollmux, we have an official Mailinglist for all WollMux-related issues, including end-user and developer questions: http://www.wollmux.org/index.php/Mailing_Lists
Thank you for the warm (not as in weather, but nevertheless) welcome!
Finally, i hope the event will be taking place next year again and get some more attention of the local university (Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel).
As usual, my slides will be available from planetlimux.org.
