@taf Since a lot of capitols are getting increasingly homogenous, with the same brands everywhere, would it be an idea to travel to parts of a country where you’ve not been?

@mwl @brooks Is there something that prevents those metapkg prompts from being upstreamed?

As much as adding that software to base is a pain, doing it via metapkgs seems like a much better solution.

#food for lunch earlier today: Sandwich.
@jimsalter Sure - but I was more thinking along the lines of /dev/urandom to /dev/random being a symlink on FreeBSD.

#Aurora from yesterday.

There was a bit more red in it than what my phone captured.

@tj I really appreciate these.

Have you thought about doing summaries in the quarterly report? 

@jimsalter Why are you /dev/urandom? 

The slides for my #EuroBSDCon talk are now online. The presentation is about the rc ecosystem in FreeBSD (i.e., the init system, service scripts, etc.).

@bcantrill Has anyone presented you with the different stylizations that NVIDIA has had over the years?

I’m pretty sure it’s a case of brand-dating, where you can tell when someone got involved with it, by how it’s stylized, as they’ve variously used nVIDIA, nVidia, Nvidia, and NVIDIA over the years.

@xpi Is that what it takes to stay in tune?
