The party turned out to be a lot more successful than I thought. I thought only a few people will show-up since there aren't that many gnomies around that I know of. We had lots of nice discussions on various topics especially the future of GNOME and Free SW in general. One of the participants was very interested in having some way to write UIs that work for both big screens and tiny screen of his Openmoko mobile phone, which turned out to be quite an interesting discussion. Taking the EXOPC running Fedora 16 with me was indeed a good idea since almost every participant wanted to see how it works. Although I had to keep telling/reminding everyone that on-screen-keyboard in gnome-shell is not exactly finished, I noticed that people were pretty much already able to use GNOME 3.2 with a touch-only interface. The biggest issue people encountered wasn't the OSK though but the bad touch-screen on the tablet. Some pictures from the event:

If you happen to be in Helsinki tomorrow (Wednesday) evening, don't forget to drop-by at Kaisla to celebrate the awesome GNOME 3.2 release with us. Not only you will get to hang-out and have beers with other cool people in town but also get to try out GNOME 3.2 on a tablet. If you have never been to Kaisla before, this is one bar you must visit if you are interested in beers as they have a rather decent collection of beers from different countries. See you tomorrow at 8pm there!

So last saturday I got married to this amazing woman I've been in love with for the last 3 years of my life. Except for the start of the wedding (when I was extremely nervous) I enjoyed the whole event a lot. That includes the bachelor's party that my awesome friends threw me 2 days before the wedding. Here are some pictures worth sharing, the first one being from Bachelor's party, as you can guess: Although many people helped in different ways, three people that deserve the most appreciation are Timo (my best man) who arranged the Bachelor's party, Anna Haukka who was the main official photographer and Tiina Taxell (Bride's maid). Also special Thanks to Edward to arrange some important things before the wedding and Christian (also my best man) for bringing Edward so early in the morning and the rings. :) One of the weird things about my wedding was that it brought many hackers from all around Europe to Helsinki for a few days. :)
