Do you have to be brain damaged talk goes international!

8 Replies

My talk about severe head trauma and developing open source software has gone international. Last weekend I gave a talk at FOSDEM in Brussels, a massive conference with geeks from every little part of the free software world. The video of me giving Do You Have to be Brain Damaged to Care About desktop Linux is now up on their website. It had drama, it had emotion, it had technical excellent, but most of all it had lots of geeks learning about ABI.
