So, let’s get started with all the stuff:

1. Congratulations to the FAI Project, which celebrates today the 10th Anniversary. Happy Birthday, FAI, well done Mr. Thomas Lange and all other contributors and users of FAI.

2. I wish everybody a merry x-mas, or merry whatever you celebrate around the world…this year, we’ll have our little sunshine around and it’s fantastic. Last year, around this time, he was still in "Mommys Belly", and now he’s already > 7 months old and exploring the whole world. Two weeks ago we already bought an x-mas tree and last weekend I decorated the tree…many of you with small kids or little babies know what happend ;) it’s fun.

3. I’m trying to migrate my blog from Drupal6 to Wordpress…the first steps are done, I don’t know when the final move will start. You’ll be noticed, I already appologies for all planet spamming, hopefully nothing happens.

4. I’m on holiday since the beginning of December, to get my personal issues sorted out. It work…less stress, less alcohol, more time with Son and C., and much snow since yesterday :)

5.  5 Years of Ubuntu are reaching it’s end…after the release of Hoary, I was appointed Ubuntu Member and MOTU (hopefully this team will still exists when we release Lucid) and this will be 5 years ago. A long time to stay with a Distribution :) Hopefully this won’t change, or actually I hope that the Distributions are moving to a more "we work together" approach. I would wish for an Ubuntu LTS, or Debian, or SLES or RHEL Release, which needs to be certified only one time for Hardware or Third Party Commercial Software, because we should be honest: you don’t earn money with selling OS Boxes..(ok, MS is doing that, but that’s only because of the consumer) you earn money with support…you don’t need buy licenses, you need consumers who are buying support contracts, and no, nobody wants to buy support contracts for desktop stuff, you need server people buying support contracts. Desktop Users are in need of a 0900 or whatever support number you can earn money with.

6. Have a nice December, lot’s of nice evenings with your family and/or friends…and Have a good start into the year 2010, the year of the Linux Desktop ,->

7. See you next year :)
