I’m back to Canada! Yes, after spending 3 months in Europe, mostly in Romania but also visiting some other countries, this is my first day at work. There are lots of things which happened in the meantime and I strongly hope I will have more time to share it here this time: how we feel Romania after living there again for 3 months, how we feel Canada now when we turned back, how was eLiberatica 2008, what plans we have for the future of the conference and the Romanian Open Source Initiative, some stories from our Black Sea Coast vacation in Bulgaria and so on. But for now we just try to use again to the Vancouver time (still having some jet-lag and vacation-lag ;).

And, because I can not stay without mention it (although you already know it I bet); coincidentally, today Google launched Chrome! Also coincidentally, I just have some conversation in the last weeks about browsers.. I was mentioning to my chat partner, that probably the main improvement that I would do it if I would be involved in a browser design, would be to simplify the interface, to remove buttons and so, eventually to implement different interface profiles: a profile for geeks, one for developers, one for my parents ;) , I mean for ordinary people and so on. And looking at Chrome, I would say that I was right. They did it! Again. This is why we wish to have Google again at eLiberatica for the next year. Ah, and Chrome project is Open Source!
