The last two days I attended the FrosCon here near Bonn. I didn't got much new insights from the presentations I attended, but I didn't expected this. It was just nice to see some FreeBSD guys. They were quite talkative :). Very friendly people everywhere. Even musicians with their Jacklab Audio Distribution. This might be interesting for me or my dad to record music. The two Perl guys seemed not to get high traffic on their booth, so I went to their booth, but then I didn't want to fool them that Perl is dead and stuff like that :). In the end I happened to sit on the same table as a guy from open source press who heard my "comments/corrections" during the presentation about Ruby and Design Patterns. And then he knew Armin :)
Ah, I remember what was interesting as well. One of the FreeBSD guys (there were many of them :) said that here on this booth, there's only FreeBSD, Postgres and KDE :). And he said this with a deep self-evidence. About Postgres he said, "We are all the same - have the same root - you know". So I guess Postgres has it's origins at Berkeley :)
