Anyway, the takeaway home message (or: what I’ve learned this year) is:

- fauli: see the guy smiling in the picture, behind this smile is a hard life. Not just because he’s using windows. Remember that if he ever takes his wife to a geek-party, to stay away. His wife has a gun and knows how to shoot. Also remember never to drive him drunk on the last night, as the poor fella won’t be able to “play with the boys on Gentoo” for weeks if he comes home late.
- dertobi123: this year’s in-flight guest, special performance act, in and out for one day, w00t!
- dan: the guy is nasty with quiz questions that go way beyond the reasonable for a night in Biergarten
- sping: mind him, the hair is white, but it’s still a pipping — confusing!
- florian: one of those guys that bend their head when they smile

Ok, so a random amount of work to do:
- generate wordcloud from real sources, e.g. google, gentoo forums, mailing lists: how to get access to the raw data, use stemming, collect the words, strip the stop-words, count them, what period?
- T-shirts were awsome, lots of interested users, keep ‘em coming all the year, can we do “tagged” T-shirts for next year? (with name)
- the booth was like last year very good, and helpful, unlike on FOSDEM, seems the “enter our lair” works pretty well, the decorations (despite emo-cows) also spiced it up, lessons learnt? I don’t know.
- I was missing some talks by devs on some of their work(s), maybe that’s more of a FOSDEM thing then?

From the did you know department:
- did you know that germans don’t seem to drink much beer?
- and that they prefer beer with 2.6% of alcohol?
- … with sweet stuff in it like lemon, strawberries or cherries?
- did you know that in Berlin a weisbier is red or green? (juck!)
- that noone liked to go for rbu’s barbecue so we went for regular food instead?
- that grow-hormones in food make non-legal look barely-legal?
- that reading mail on windows, even though over ssh, remains dead-slow?
- more people were interested in Gentoo Prefix on Windows than is reasonably healthy?
- E4 is “the platz to be”?
- … and that they ran out of beer quickly?
- ICE’s suck when they break down?

It was a cool time guys, see you next year!
