I haven't been to Paris and just listened to two (or was it just one? 
can't remember) Fudcon kernel talks from davej years ago. I found them 
useful, as they gave some new insights and I learned a thing or two 
about how the Fedora's kernel crew worked back then.

But the real reason why I write this mail: I like to thank Fedora's 
kernel team and especially Josh for blog entries like the one mentioned 
above. Those are IMHO more important than FUDCon talks, as everybody 
interested can get information this way -- at a time they want and 
without travelling long distances. Further: a text like this can 
transfer more information in less time than a talk or a video recording 
from a talk (which in the FUDCon Paris case afaik doesn't even exist); 
and in a text it's a lot easier to skip details one is not interested in.

In addition: Thanks for the public IRC meetings and the summaries from 
them. They give a good insight, too.

I hope this mail encourages you guys to keep on writing blog posts and 
meetings summaries (or maybe even do it more often). I know the feedback 
and responses to them are rare, which can be frustrating and easily lead 
to a "nobody seems to read that stuff, so why do I bother and spend time 
on it" attitude (trust me, I know what I'm talking about ;-)  ). But be 
assured: I read them, and I'm sure many others do, too; so keep up with 
it, it helps a lot! :-)
