I recently attended FSCONS in Göteborg. It was the first
time for me. I'm very glad I went.
The idea of attending was to deepen my involvement with
"the free software movement" - feeding my ideas about how I
can or want to contribute.
I decided to participate a long time ago. I've considered
finding a mentor, applying for the Outreach Program for Women
etc., but I still need to figure out how to make small
contributions, finding a team to work with etc. I'm a little
disappointed with myself that I haven't figured it all out
already, a long tima ago, that is. I know I want to work with
interface design, but while I'm a web designer, I am not an
expert on interface design. And I'd convinced a part of
myself that I had nothing to contribute.
So I was on a quest, going to FSCONS. Some people I know would
be there, and there was a chance to meet up with some friends
of Jonas, that I'd already heard of. Jonas was giving a talk
himself, and it made sense to meet more free software-people
in Scandinavia and help strengthen the community a bit. (It's
needed! There are not many free software users in Scandinavia.)
We stayed with two students from India, Raghu and. They were
kind enough to invite us to crash in their small student
apartment and feed us breakfast and dinner for four days.
