The West Coast Summit 2014 is over now, and I’m glad I was able to attend. There’s absolutely no substitute for getting a distributed group of people together for face to face conversations about their common interest in GNOME. Thanks to Endless Mobile for providing their office as a venue and sponsoring the event!

It was really great to see familiar faces like Germán, Giovanni, and Kristian (among many others!). Breakout sessions on topics like GNOME on Wayland and Gjs were very successful. It was cool to see GNOME on Wayland (well, it looked the same actually which was the goal 😉 ). Giovanni did an amazing amount of work on investigating the Spidermonkey GC. Christian wowed people with a demo of Builder. I worked on Continuous and OSTree. In particular, on the OSTree branch for static deltas, which should significantly speed up downloads.
