So I am back from the SOSP conference which took place in Brighton, UK. Weather and food were really British ;)
I met well-know people from Cambridge which was a very nice reunion. Furthermore some new "friends" from CMU, Cornell and especially MIT. I appreciated the conference a lot (and wine, beer and company).
Oh, yes, by the way, there were also some interesting talks (although not so many networking stuff).
Now I am just back in Saarbruecken, Germany and still have no accommodation for the next month. This will be a pain in the ass for the next days and week.
