<h1>debconf riding is <a href=
"http://upsilon.cc/~zack/blog/posts/2009/07/easy_debconf9-ers/">again</a></h1>
<p>After ~1650 km of motorbike riding from Paris, yesterday evening
I've arrived at <a href=
"http://debconf11.debconf.org">DebConf11</a>, after having shared
the part of the trip from Geneva to Banja Luka with my good friend
<a href="http://luca.pca.it">gismo</a>.</p>

<p>The venue looks great. It's full of nice spots for impromptu
chats, beers, and the like, which I love. I had a good lengthy
recovery sleep and I'm ready for the usual DebConf fun to begin.
Plan for today is simple: dismantle DPL backlog accumulated during
the trip and in the frantic 10-15 days before it.</p>
<p>If you are at the conference and willing to discuss, chat, or
simply share a beer: do not hesitate! For something less informal,
Neil is also organizing an in person <a href=
"http://penta.debconf.org/dc11_schedule/events/707.en.html">"ask
the leader"</a> session here; feel free to <a href=
"http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/07/msg00280.html">propose
questions</a> to him and make me have a hard time answering
them.</p>
<p>See you around.</p>

<p>We just arrived to DebConf9, after 3 days of motorkbike
traveling from Montpellier to Caceres. It has been really funny,
especially the last day, biking through some of the Extremadura
mountains to avoid the highway.</p>
<p>See you around, most likely at the bar: we really need a Cerveza
now.</p>
<p><strong>Update</strong>: wanna see us? Luca has made available
