Bye, bye AOL/ICQ
As mentioned at Slashdot, AOL has changed the terms of service for their AIM service. Effectively, they can do whatever they want with their traffic. No privacy whatsoever! Although I never used AIM itself, I connected to the ICQ network via an AIM gateway on my Jabber server. I have condoned the ICQ contacts on my roster for way too long now, and this was the last straw. I removed all my ICQ contacts and unregistered with the gateway. Bye, bye now!

FOSDEM 2005 redux #1
I've collected the FOSDEM 2005 photos made
by 
intosi and myself.
Also, I added three photos that were contributed by 
johans. Among them, nice
shots of the Jabber Software
Foundation booth and the Jabber Developers' Room.
FOSDEM was very exhausting. A lot of people contributed to make our
presence a success. Thanks to intosi, christ and
ulrich for their hard work during
the weekend, Ian Sollars for doing his presentation on Gradient, all
others that helped out in one way or the other and of course those who
attended the presentations and meet-up in the developers' room. I found
a few reports on my presentations at The
Turkey Curse and The Lunatic
Fringe. Thanks guys. Anyway, I've learned a lot about
organising such an event, and have a number of ideas on how to do
things differently/better next time.
Note:
I haven't found the time yet to fix up my presentation slides to put online, so please be patient. This weekend should give me somewhat more time for that.
