or: How to not instruct a delegate

Plasma Sprint, Milano, Italy; it’s Saturday now, the main plasma crowd has already been working for a day, i just arrived yesterday in the late evening after having had a nice day in Bologna.

First thing for me to do in the morning was to drop a box of beers at our hackplace (remember, that ain’t bad: put beer and KDE work in front of KDE people, and they’ll first do the coding, then enjoy the beer – not a bottle is missing yet!), so i pulled up in front of Ruphy’s house with my VW Kolf, where Aaron and Kevin were already eagerly expecting me and my delivery. And as nice as we all know Aaron is, he offered to lend a hand, meaning he instructed a delegate – Kevin – to bring in the beer, overseeing a major bug: beer won’t get any chilled when you put the box next to the fridge (that bug is resolved by now).

After lunch, Nuno and i where addressed by famous p. to fight a scary monster waiting in front of Ruphy’s house. We then figured it ain’t that scary and enjoyed a cup of tea and cookies with it, arranging to meet up later for the social.

So, dear reader, if you is confused now and questioning the productivity of the sprint, wrong you are: I only had some small fizzy red wine (yet more to confuse people) and the general noise-level is mostly composed by keyboard-hacking-sounds and people discussing on whiteboard and at tables.
