BarCamp is cool!

I went to BarCamp today. Good place (in Intel's office), good topics and  good speakers (having enough open source contributors means good to me ;-). We had another discussion on open source community within colleges, from which I learned much about organizing a club like our Beihang Open Source Club.

Unfortunately, I had to go to another engagement and so missed most topics on BarCamp.

This another event is our freedesktop group in the College Open Source Society. I got an extremely important point: many times, the reason we study some specific technique is not we want to learn it, but that we want to solve some interesting problems, which happen to require this technique. The driving factor here is the problems.

It is because we want to make our desktop cool that we decide to learn GTK. Rather than, because GTK is so much fun that we want to learn it.
