I had a very enjoyable time at FOSDEM last weekend; Here's a very brief summary;

Friday Night, after having checked in to the Hotel, just before the Social Event, a bunch of us went to get dinner. I was very careful to pick a place that had Steak Tartare, or Americain, since I just love that stuff. The Drug Opera had it, just around the corner from where the Social Event was to take place later that evening.

Saturday morning, the Belgium beers kicked in. Let me tell you it was rough, I had a headache, and it turned out to last for the rest of the day ;-) That evening, we went to get some dinner before our own little Fedora social event was to take place in a joint called Churchill's. Of course, I had Steak Tartare. It just so happened we ended up in the Drug Opera again, too ;-) Another few awesome Belgium beers later, we headed of to Churchill's - but it was crowded with British watching a football game. We ended up in a different place I can't remember the name of right now.

On Sunday, the last day of the event, the Fedora EMEA board went for lunch to discuss some of the details around FUDCon and LinuxTag. They had Americain on the menu, but they were out :-( So I ordered a Omelet avec Jambon et Fromage, it turned out to be ok. A Grimbergen Brune at lunch neutralized the lack for raw meat.

FOSDEM - raw meat, great beers, lots of people - awesome!

Would you like to see Ruby 1.9.1 in rawhide? If so, would you like to see it land in Fedora 11, or should I wait till after Fedora 11 has been released? Bearing in mind I do not have 1.9.1 packaged yet (I'm working on 1.8.7-p72 now), I'd like to hear what you think about it. If 1.9.1 is not going to be in Fedora 11, I'll probably build a repository for F-11 Ruby 1.9.1 packages, and have it land in Fedora 12...

It'll probably be a lot of work porting / rebuilding the list of 108 packages that require "ruby(abi) = 1.8", given this list of changes, so I'm not sure if the timing is sufficient.

Let me know what you think ;-)
