It has been about 3 months since my last blog, this is because in between work, moving apartments and some trips, I have had barely any time. I am not going to post about the past in detail, just som up some of the bigger events that happened during the last three months.

• Playing a lot with KVM and multiple Windows Server editions as a virtual machine in RHEL/CentOS [January]
• Playing some more with KVM and Windows mixed machines in a virtual network [January]
• Attending startup meetings for the Hackerspace in Antwerp [January]
• Setup some impressive small server machines with 8 cores [January]
• University study trip to Chennai & Bangalore (India) [February]
• FOSDEM 2010 [February]
• The actual move into our new apartment [February]
• Starting to play with remote desktop solutions for mixed environments, Windows and Linux [March]

Most of my spare time was going into getting everything ready to move, now I still need to get everything organized, however this process doesn’t have a deadline, which is an advantage and a disadvantage.

Yesterday, 28/11/2009, the first Belgium Fedora Release party was held at Don Bosco Wilrijk, around 25 people showed up. Bert gave a brief presentation about Fedora and how to join the community. Kris was as usual very punctual, and provided us with a very appropriate talking stick, a red fedora. Vincent setup a PXE install server for those interested in installing Fedora 12. Later on in the evening Martin Langhoff joined us to talk about the OLPC and some of the upcoming advances. I had already played once with the OLPC, but I still learned some interesting new feature about power management. All by all a very good organized and planned first release party, which we need to thank the Don Bosco Wilrijk Team, Robert Keersse, Peter Peeters, Johan Jacquemin, Linda van Hoeymissen, and Fedora Belgium, Bert Desmet, Bart Couvreur.
