Room sound issues in the Java Devroom has just been fixed! Thanks to the folks that worked so hard on it since the morning

Yeah! Been to Kubecon EU twice, I think you're right. Valencia and Amsterdam. Way too expensive, corporate and marketing(ish) in my view. I couldn't have gone without employer's support. It's not the same crowd one would meet at these events though.

The popular hallway track! Talk to the people while you queue up, what they are working on, what their interests are etc may be super interesting than the actual talk itself. It may be intimidating at first but almost everyone I have encountered at fosdem are fellow nerds and easy to talk to. Remember there (almost) always streaming and recording, don't be so disappointed if you miss a talk.

Yes video stream and recording has proper audio. Always be ready for layering up and down when visiting FOSDEM. Probably not helpful this time but for the next.

Bruh! Does it matter if a sensible thought comes from a high scool kid or a parrot, as long as it is sensible?

This whole RCA terminology has to die. The idea that there exists a single "Root Cause" that causes major disasters is fundamentally flawed.

> South India has a very strong "Brahmin" influence .. Oh dear! That notorious Tambram superiority shit. I agree it is still largely at play. However, considering how it is played in the North of India, South is light years better.

> large parts of population in South Indian states like Tamil Nadu and Kerala no longer have surnames that are tied to the caste. I agree with that general conclusion. I have roots in Kerala and my family purposefully didn't add the caste part in my name. My father has it but not anyone in my family in my generation. That being said, don't forget that the Tamil Brahmin(Tambram) superiority shit is still present at large everywhere.

It does, if you genuinely care about your customers or want to live up to your organization's MTP :/

Can't get Dutchier than "Wij zijn niet van suiker" :)
