UDS: Where Did all The Coffee Go
Breaking news from the summit of Ubuntu geeks currently being held here in Barcelona. The supply of coffee, the drug that keeps many geeks going throughout the morning, has dried up with the swift removal of all coffee dispensing machines.
Landscape Dev Mourns
It happened on a warm May day at 9:30, half way though the first morning’s UDS sessions. Buoyed by the day’s early supply of coffee all was going well. Until tragedy struck for all those hoping to get a second or third cup before the second session line-up. According to sources the summit venue is rather strict with coffee and only the persistent demands of Clair Newman could persuade them to deliver much needed coffee relief at all. But instead of this wonderful bean drink persisting, it instead was swiftly removed shortly after being put out causing many sad faces and some on the verge of tears as they looks mournfully into their empty cups.
Without the much needed drink the morning’s sessions will likely be slower and perhaps filled with the sounds of gentle snoring. For the love of improving Ubuntu, bring back the coffee for these souls!
Although this reporter only drinks Tea, so isn’t so bothered by all the fuss.
Update: 10:17am the coffee has returned, only the continued demands and sad, grey faces in the halls could have prompted this 180 degree policy change. Rejoice for the coffee is back.

Ha! My office has the primary of the two coffee makers in IT, so I know full well how important this is. I can tell how people’s days are going by the frequency of coffee intake, especially with those who rarely drink it (and are in another part of the building) and make the trek in the afternoon to keep going for those last hours.
but yeah he looks sad
