Went to hang with the Openisimus guys for dinner last night followed by beers on their terrace. A beautiful view looking over west Istanbul and right next to the Galata Tower.


I hadn't even thought about it, but my work emailed today to check that everyone was ok following the attack on the US consulate here in Istanbul. Everyone is fine and the conference continues. There has been no obvious change in security levels here, in fact no one here knew until they read it as part of their news feed the next day (great to see how tuned into the news your average GNOME hacker is).
