Just packed my luggage. Next stop is Hotel Intercontinental where I will pick up Tommy Matsumoto and then fly to Kuala Lumpur with him for APRICOT. This is going to be an extremely busy meeting for me, attending APSTAR retreat and numerous APIA/APRICOT board and members meetings. I am also going to do presentations at […]

Japan Day 4
Oh boy…I almost thought I couldn’t walk back from the station. My legs are dead. I did a lot of walking today and my shoes aren’t really suited for that. Somehow, I made back to my hotel in one piece. My first appointment is 10am at Hotel New Otani. I reached Nagata-cho station at 9:50am […]
Japan Day 3
Today is an easy meeting too. We spend some time to go through the resolution one by one to clean it up. Then we pass the resolutions fairly easily and wrap up the meeting by noon! Yeap! Oh, I also got a pleasant surprising getting an invitation to hook by from Theodore Ts’o who is […]
Japan Day 2
Meeting today was smooth, much smoother and faster then what I expected. In fact, it went so well that we finish at 3pm. I stayed on to help to draft the resolutions but otherwise, things goes well. We also conclude that there is no need to meet again. This is our first participation in SC22-LRG […]
Japan Day 1
I have a bit of trouble waking up this morning after a late night. I was suppose to have breakfast with Michael Clark (part of Singapore delegation) and I got more then I bargain for. I ended up having breakfast with both Michael and Scott McNeil, the Executive Director for the FreeStandards, whom I havent […]

I couldn’t wrap my head around this initially, considering most people prefer Linux to be on ISO disk instead. But I think there is […]
Day 2 in Dubai
Jetlagged, I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t sleep. So I went down to the seminar room to use the wireless and catching up with my blogroll. By the time people comes walking into the room, I am already worned out which is kind of bad since I have to a […]
Day 1 in Dubai
Took an overnight flight from Singapore and arrived in Dubai 7am in the morning. To my surprise, Taj Palace Hotel provided a transport to fetch me from the airport even though it is only about 5mins away. Checking in is unfortunately not that pleasant. They have a room reserved for me since last yesterday but […]

I will be talking abit on IDN-OSS, hopefully getting more support for the project. :-) You can find my presentation here. This is my first trip to Dubai. Heard a lot of good stuff […]
Day seven in Japan
This is my last day in Japan. Nevertheless, the days are still as havoc as ever. I have an early breakfast with Keith from ANU and both of us recapped some of the interesting tibits from the ACT conference. Particularly, the energy group reminded all of us that energy is now one of the basic […]
