I can’t remember why I started to write conference wrap-ups but it started in 2009 when I attended my first Hack.lu! I had a quick look at my blog archives and, until today, I wrote 184 wrap-ups! The initial idea was probably to bring some material to colleagues who did not
I’m in the train from Paris where I attended the RMLL Security Track version 2016. The RMLL or “Rencontres Mondiales du Logiciel Libre” is an annual event around free software.

I’m writing the final touch of my PH-Neutral wrap-up from the Berlin airport waiting for my flight back to Belgium. The 0x7DB edition was the first time for me but also the latest one as FX, the founder, decided to not organize the event next year. A page is over!
2010 is almost over and 2011 is already at our door! In a few days, a lot of us will (try to) detach from the regular business and go back to family and friends to spend good times. It’s time to make some planning, reserve enough off-days and setup my
