First baby steps… :-) Axel, It's a good point about level of English knowledge. Funnily enough, though, I can say that the people paying attention in my talk were those with lesser knowledge of English. :-) But yes, it is an important factor. And I do agree, we should not take too much for granted that people know about the Mozilla history and structure - even if some know, it definitely deserves repeating. Michal,

Axel,

It’s a good point about level of English knowledge. Funnily enough, though, I can say that the people paying attention in my talk were those with lesser knowledge of English. :-) But yes, it is an important factor.

And I do agree, we should not take too much for granted that people know about the Mozilla history and structure – even if some know, it definitely deserves repeating.

Not sure there's lots we can do about that, aside from talking slowly, and having wifi that enables online translations. At which point you'd actually like people staring at their laptops ;-) Also, I was very surprised both in BA and in Zagreb at the Balkans events how much of our basics is unknown. Like, who's that Mitchell (ugh), or, no, you don't do b2g native apps, you do web apps. They sure are converted, but there's lots that just makes sense to be repeated in person.

Also, happy to hear that it worked differently at JSConf and that people were more engaged (also, the Hack Day in Argentina was great - this phenomenon only took place at the MozCamp). Thanks for the tagging, I'll update the pictures! Federico Panico,

Nice to read that you enjoyed all your trips. Bad to note how the conference at Argentina turned up. Couple of days ago it was the JSConf here in Argentina and I actually didn't notice the same pattern; not many people took their laptops and those used them outside talks. For a moment of pedantry, let me tag your photos: 1-6: Paseo La Plaza, full of restaurants and some small theaters. 7-14: Plaza de Mayo and Casa Rosada (i.e. kind of White House but pink) 15: Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral 16-18: Obelisco de Buenos Aires (I work five blocks aways of it) 19-20: Colon theater. 23-32: Plaza San Martin and then Recoleta. 33-44: Recoleta Cemetery Hi, Robert.

I believe you are absolutely right: no matter how much you fear dying, you don't ever want it to steal away your life and abilitiy to live to the fullest. The thing we can control is making sure that our lives, and for the people around us, is as great as it possibly can be. tim-tam,
