<h1 id="triptovietnam">Trip to Vietnam</h1>
<p>On november 12-14 the <a href="http://fossasia.org/">FOSSASIA</a> conference is held in Việt Nam, with
fellow <a href="http://www.debian.org" title="Debian -- The Universal Operating System">Debian</a> hackers turning it into a <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianVietnam/MiniDebConf2010">Mini-Debconf</a>.</p>
<p>When initially confronted with the plan at <a href="http://debconf10.debconf.org/" title="Debconf 10">Debconf10</a> I was thrilled
to participate. When returning home, however, I decided (or let my
girlfriend decide for us) to move to a beautiful old cottage house —
unfortunately clashing with the FOSSASIA event.</p>
<p>Recently Andreas, scheduled to give a speak on <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPureBlends" title="Debian Pure Blends">Debian Pure Blends</a>
at FOSSASIA, had to cancel his trip. I then decided to participate
after all, as that subject has been a passion of mine for a few years:
I would be sad if this wasn't promoted at FOSSASIA,
and I should hopefully know enough of it for an interesting talk.</p>
<p>After FOSSASIA I will stay another 1½ week offering to exchange ideas
and knowledge with hackers in the area of Hồ Chí Minh.</p>
<p>Thanks to the friends convincing me to participate, especially Héctor,
Andrew and Paul. And thanks a bunch to <a href="http://www.debian.org" title="Debian -- The Universal Operating System">Debian</a> for sponsoring the
flight tickets!</p>
