My looong journey to @everythingopen started this afternoon. I'm really excited about this trip (my first time visiting Australia). πŸ™πŸ½ I cannot wait to meet/make new friends on the other side of the world. 🌏

Feel free to say hi if you see me around! πŸ™‚πŸ§βœŒπŸ½

Reporting from Toronto. My entire itinerary has changed due to a flight disruption. I'll arrive in #Gladstone one day later than originally planned. 🌏🐧

(actually, I wasn't supposed to stop by Toronto, but here I am)

More news.

I'm still in Toronto. We boarded the plane 45 mins ago, after a delay of 2.5 hours, and the crew just showed up. πŸ‘€

I was supposed to be in #Gladstone by now, but it looks like I'll be taking my overnight flight from Vancouver to Brisbane tomorrow, instead. So, I'm essentially taking a flight per day, when I was originally scheduled to have three flights on April 11th and arrive in Gladstone on April 13th. On the bright side, I've got free food! πŸ˜›

Airport life.

Tonight, I'll finally take my flight to Brisbane! ✈️🌏

I've been wandering in airports around the world since Wednesday (due to neverending flight disruptions). πŸ§³πŸšΆπŸ½β€β™‚οΈ

@everythingopen take a screenshot if you see me on TV!

Touchdown! πŸ›¬πŸŒ #Brisbane

@everythingopen I feel like visiting New Zealand, next. 😁

@everythingopen almost there! just one more flight πŸ™πŸ½ BNE -> GLD

(fav when you see it πŸ˜‰)

People in Gladstone are so friendly.

First, many others and I were received at the airport by a number of @everythingopen volunteers who drove us to our accommodations. Thanks a lot for that, folks! I wasn't really expecting it, and it was so cool of you to do it.

Later, when I went to the pharmacy and then for dinner, the people who assisted me always did so with a smile on their faces, despite dealing with my soo jet-lagged brain.

The one thing I need to acclimate to quickly is the humidity

@everythingopen here we are! here we go! πŸ™‚πŸ§πŸŒπŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί #Gladstone the place of shells. #EverythingOpen

@everythingopen I just cramped 180 slides into a 45-min track. I was talking like mad the last 10mins. πŸŽ™οΈπŸ—£οΈ

I'll upload the slides to my blog, soon. 🐧

Thank you, folks, for having me. It's been a great adventure so far! πŸŒπŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ί

Honestly, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I really liked Gladstone and the EO people. Very supportive and kind. πŸ™‚

Now, I don't know if should I stay or should I go... 🎢😲

#EverythingOpen 2024 rocks!

Next stop πŸŽ™οΈπŸ—£οΈ: https://lundlinuxcon.org πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ🐧

lundlinuxcon.org - A small linux conference in Lund

Lund LinuxCon is a small linux conference in Lund

I just uploaded the slides from my talk at @everythingopen (EO2024) this morning:
https://embeddedor.com/slides/2024/eo/eo2024.pdf (pdf).

This is an update to my presentation of last year @KernelRecipes, titled "Gaining bounds-checking on trailing arrays in the upstream Linux kernel"

In this up-to-date version, I talk about some of the strategies I'm following to fix thousands of -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings, and enable this option in mainline.

I hope people find them useful. Thank you all. πŸ™‚πŸ§πŸ‘¨πŸ½β€πŸ’»

@everythingopen Thank you for organizing such a great event, everybody! You're all rockstars! πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½

I really hope to see you all next year. #EverythingOpen

Hasta la vista!

(tag yourself! πŸ™‚)

@everythingopen such a peaceful beautiful place <3 #GladstoneToday #Gladstone
Gladstone -> Brisbane πŸ›¬πŸ™‚βœŒπŸ½

Brisbane -> Vancouver

It's been a nice adventure. Thanks, Australia! βœˆοΈπŸ™‚βœŒπŸ½β™₯️

After a couple more flights (Vancouver->Toronto->CDMX) I finally arrived in Mexico.

I still have to take a domestic flight tomorrow to get to my final destination.πŸ˜›

It's been hours on end in airports and airplanes, interacting with all sorts of people along the way. I feel so tired, but at the same time so energized (this is likely just a consequence of sleep deprivation πŸ€ͺ).

By this time next month I'll be on a similar journey once again (✈️Lund LinuxCon πŸ§πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ), so I better get some sleep now.😴✌🏽

@gustavoars @everythingopen

Would be worth a re-toot a lot more if the screenshot or the toot would mention what the talk is about πŸ™ƒ

@gustavoars Fun fact! It is quicker to go from Melbourne MEL to Auckland AKL than from Perth PER to Melbourne MEL? Australia is HUUUUUGE!
@everythingopen I've heard Australia is in the process of merging with Asia. So, that probably won't last another couple million years. πŸ˜›
@gustavoars Assuming it is one straight flight you might consider it. Otherwise you'll be airportlounge hopping for another week 😊😭
