This GUADEC has been excellent. Not quite the same environment as the last one, since we're hiding in pubs from the rain and general Birmingham dreariness, instead of getting naked in the Mediterranean, but I think the general quality of talks has gone way up. My talk (on gnome-power-manager improvements) seemed to go over pretty well, and discussions with gtk folks were great, particularly at daniels's talk tonight.

I finally took the two days needed to sit down and type out the DRM ioctl cleanups I'd committed to do at a conference probably two years ago. I tested it on FreeBSD and it worked great. I passed the branch off to daniels to test, and he said "woo glxgears works. push!". Apparently he was too far gone to notice that DRI hadn't initialized at all, so the linux side of the DRM is totally busted. But hey, it's not like I was more sober, and I wasn't going to turn down pushing +2000, -3000 lines of diff.

Now I'm working on fixing up DRM mapping on FreeBSD to be less terrible, and writing some support code in the process that will be important for kernel memory management.
