Some of us had dinner in San Francisco on Saturday, with Tom, Tom F., Mark, Petri, and Dalibor. From Sun there was Tom M., Rich, Onno, and Peter. Erinn from Debian was there, and obtained the reservation, as well as Jacob. I’ve had Jacob listed as a Flickr contact for a long time, it turns out; I didn’t recognize him at the time.

We had a great dinner, and it was great to finally meet everyone. We didn’t get enough of a chance to talk, but I’m sure this week we can make up for that.

After dinner we took a tour of an office. I won’t say what office or whose, but it was much more bizarre and interesting than you might think (it’s on/adjacent to Jessie street in San Francisco, which name has a special meaning for me).

It’s strange when a number of things converge at once. This is going to be a fun week.
