&lt;p&gt;Hi Everyone, Its been a long time between blogging but I have an excuse. I have moved from &lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;ll=-43.526724,172.656026&amp;amp;spn=0.006628,0.021973&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;z=16" rel="noopener"&gt;Christchurch New Zealand&lt;/a&gt;
, to &lt;a href="http://www.enac.fr/" rel="noopener"&gt;ENAC&lt;/a&gt;
, &lt;a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;geocode=&amp;amp;q=enac,&amp;#43;toulouse,&amp;#43;france&amp;amp;ie=UTF8&amp;amp;ll=43.565327,1.474915&amp;amp;spn=0.006623,0.021973&amp;amp;t=h&amp;amp;z=16" rel="noopener"&gt;Toulouse, France&lt;/a&gt;
. I have now been here for a month, working with the &lt;a href="http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/index.php/Main_Page" rel="noopener"&gt;UAV team&lt;/a&gt;
 here.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://johnstowers.co.nz/images/imported/cimg3107.jpg"&gt;&lt;figure class="img"&gt;
 &lt;img src="https://johnstowers.co.nz/images/imported/cimg3107.jpg" alt="" loading="lazy" decoding="async"&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Screen Envy?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="https://johnstowers.co.nz/images/imported/cimg3107.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The work has been really challenging, and I have settled into my routine, working towards some things I would like to demonstrate before I leave. I have spent a few weeks doing a lot of electronics design,  updating the paparazzi autopilot board, the IMU, and the GPS boards. Nothing revolutionary, just some evolutionary improvements over the previous hardware.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Linux.conf.au</title><link>https://johnstowers.co.nz/2007/01/25/linuxconfau/</link><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jan 2007 02:05:17 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://johnstowers.co.nz/2007/01/25/linuxconfau/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Well I had a fantastically great time at &lt;a href="http://lca2007.linux.org.au/" rel="noopener"&gt;linux.conf.au&lt;/a&gt;
. I was fortunate enough to present two talks at the conference;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://live.gnome.org/Sydney2007#head-9b2b1f3065cf8635338348f7f2d4076dc744c054" rel="noopener"&gt;Synchronization and GNOME (at the GNOME Miniconf)&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2007/video/monday/monday_1450_GNOME.ogg" rel="noopener"&gt;Video&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/presentations/LCA2007_GNOME_Conduit_Presentation.pdf" rel="noopener"&gt;Slides&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://lca2007.linux.org.au/talk/229" rel="noopener"&gt;Albatross - The Open UAV&lt;/a&gt;
 (presented at the main conference in conjunction with Hugo)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://mirror.linux.org.au/pub/linux.conf.au/2007/video/talks/229.ogg" rel="noopener"&gt;Video
&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.johnstowers.co.nz/files/presentations/LCA2007_Albatross_UAV.pdf" rel="noopener"&gt;Slides&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But I think the coolest thing was meeting heaps of interesting (and impressive) people including &lt;a href="http://www.jonobacon.org/" rel="noopener"&gt;Jono&lt;/a&gt;
, &lt;a href="http://mugshot.org/person?who=9pfDXd0WvvZwJS" rel="noopener"&gt;Eugene&lt;/a&gt;
, &lt;a href="http://www.flock.com/about/410" rel="noopener"&gt;Manish&lt;/a&gt;
, &lt;a href="http://andy.brisgeek.com/" rel="noopener"&gt;Andy&lt;/a&gt;
, &lt;a href="http://davyd.livejournal.com/205982.html" rel="noopener"&gt;Davyd&lt;/a&gt;
, &lt;a href="http://karla.brisgeek.com/" rel="noopener"&gt;Karla&lt;/a&gt;
, &lt;a href="http://blogs.gnome.org/nigeltao" rel="noopener"&gt;Nigel&lt;/a&gt;
, &lt;a href="http://lca2007.linux.org.au/profile/26" rel="noopener"&gt;Rafael&lt;/a&gt;
, etc, etc. I will put some more photos and some of my new &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BHAG_%28Goal%29" rel="noopener"&gt;BHAGS&lt;/a&gt;
 for &lt;a href="http://www.conduit-project.org" rel="noopener"&gt;Conduit&lt;/a&gt;
 and &lt;a href="http://www.albatross-uav.org" rel="noopener"&gt;Albatross&lt;/a&gt;
