The need for continuous uninterrupted time

The Maker's Schedule. Why meetings are such a distraction to the creative process.

As someone who designs systems and writes code this is so incredibly intuitive but lacking from common knowledge. I can't believe I haven't seen this in writing before. Reading something like this behoves me to go at my calendar with a machete and fight back against the onslaught of meetings that impact my productivity.

Getting excited

Wow! linux.conf.au 2010 is looking very, very, very exciting. I'm currently reviewing miniconf proposals - there's some awesome proposals - and I can honestly say it's the best bunch of miniconf proposals that I've ever seen! (but I can't tell you any details yet, Andrew and Susanne will kill me :-)

Now, just as a reminder, the linux.conf.au 2010 CFP is currently open, you can read about it here on the Papers Info page. Talking at an LCA is a fantastic thing to do, so if you're working on something in the open-source world and you want to share that with other developers, recruit a community, and gain some recognition, you should make a submission and see if your proposal gets up. Go on, write up a submission and share your enthusiasm with others!

See you in January in Wellington, NZ. This conference is going to be wonderful - something you don't want to miss!
