After a late night purchase at Powell's Burnside, I waited in
the shelter for the streetcar at 11th and Couch, looking at
bus schedules stored in my laptop. A 25-ish fellow sitting
next to me looked at the screen and said "Oh! Gnome 2!
I /loved/ Gnome 2, but Gnome 3 sucks, I'm using XFCE now ..."
He was from NYC, in PDX to look for a site for a satellite
sales and development office for his company. I told him about
Calagator, that OSCON was next week, recruited him into PLUG
(say "I am a member"), and gave him the PLUGEXPO discount code.
He changed his flight to stay another week.
Funny thing - I remember his distro (his own clonable modification
of Gentoo) but not his name. I'll find him at OSCON, and recruit
him for a PLUG talk or two, because Of Course he is moving here.
Late night streetcars are good for meeting interesting people
and getting desktop environment tips. Food carts also - three
weeks ago I "had dinner" with a UC Santa Barbara prof working
on computer security for human brains ...
