Getting Home
In order to maximize my weekend before returning to work, my flight leaves at 06:00 on Saturday. Apparently I naively expected to take the BART but I have learned that the first BART is at 06:30.Turns out the answer is a local shuttle service (thanks Elizabeth and Charles) who will pick me up at 03:30. I might not even go to sleep Friday night :/
QA
I learned about some remarkable things today related to available QA tools which hopefully will reduce the work load on our small team.During a ubuntu-qa-tools session, I learned about automated ways to download and start a new image in KVM from a single command. Rock on!
Turns out there are many other tools that will lower the threshold for new testers to easily join and help with testing.. I will certainly be exploring these tools more. Also, during this session Gema mentioned her Plenary presentation for QA. I look forward to learning more :)
Improving the testing tools used by Ubuntu Studio is another important aspect for our future. By automating the basic ISO test we should be able to devote more time to deeper testing.
Learning of the available QA tools, along with the available backports tools, should really have significant impact to Ubuntu Studio starting with this cycle :)
Pictures
Last UDS I only took two pictures, this year I intend to do much, much better. Hopefully tomorrow I start taking them.There are a huge number of extremely cool and incredible people at UDS and I really hope to document some of this experience with a Picasa photo album.

As happened last year, midweek seemed to slip out of high gear as I didn't find as many interesting sessions. But I am sure I am an outlier at UDS.Oh, I know of one interesting session coming up on Friday; it is the a session that I will be leading for the 'Desktop Juju (see JuJu Studio section)' blueprint that was approved and scheduled.
