This year I’ve been to my first GUADEC in Karlsruhe, Germany. It was an awesome week, as I got to meet my mentor in person and a lot of other friendly people. Being part of the GNOME community it’s really amazing !
In the core days, I attended talks and I even had a lightning talk and though I never did this before, I managed to handle it well. Besides this, we also enjoyed other activities, like the picnic, where we played some really fun games, or having some drinks together.
During this week, me, Carlos and Razvan also spent some time together working on Nautilus, reviewing, polishing and discussing ideas about our projects. I really enjoyed this, as discussing in person is much better than doing it online. Besides this, we had a Nautilus BoF as well, where we discussed some interesting things about the past, present and the future of Nautilus.
Apart from these activities, we also did other cool stuff like going on the zip line in the park, or relaxing at the swimming pool, all adding up to making this week an wonderful experience.
I would like to thank GNOME for the sponsorship to attend the conference and let’s hope that I can attend next year in Manchester 🙂
