After a brief summer motorcycling break the fall is shaping up to be quite full with conferences. Here is the current list:

• September 30th - October 1st: OpenMind and MindTrek in Tampere, Finland
  I'll give a talk about the Midgard project and how our company has evolved together with it. In addition Linux-tekijä awards, where I was in the awards committee, will be announced
  
  
• October 9th - 11th: Maemo Summit in Amsterdam, the Netherlands
  While I'm not giving a talk in the event it will be great to meet the rest of the maemo.org team, and the community around the project
  
  
• October 17th: Finhack in Forssa, Finland
  A free-form hacking event for the Finnish free software community. Expect some progress with Midgard's XMPP capabilities
  
  
• October 23rd - 25th: Midgard Gathering Helsinki, Finland
  Midgard users and developers get together to learn about the new capabilities of Midgard 9.09 Mjolnir and discuss the roadmap for the next release
  
  
• October 29th: The Open Web in Ede, the Netherlands
  NLUUGs conference on new web technologies where I'll be speaking both about GeoClue and the Midgard Content Repository

Looking forward to all the interesting discussions and ideas that will surely come up from these events. If you will be around in one of those, make sure to look me up and we can chat. The events will also be covered in my Qaiku stream.
