Last year I summarized my year in a [long blog post](https://fnordig.de/2014/12/29/2014-in-many-words/),
|
||||
and with 2015 being nearly over here comes this year's version.
|
||||
|
||||
### My year in numbers
|
||||
|
||||
I was at 6 different conferences in 6 different cities across 5 different countries:
|
||||
|
||||
1. [FOSDEM](http://fosdem.org) in Brussel, Belgium (February)
|
||||
2. [.concat()](http://conc.at/) in Salzburg, Austria (March)
|
||||
3. [otsconf](https://otsconf.com/) in Dortmund, Germany (August). I was one of the organizers
|
||||
4. [Redis Dev Day](https://fnordig.de/2015/10/22/redis-dev-day-london-2015/) in London, Great Britain (October)
|
||||
5. [Hungarian Web Conference 2015](http://webconf.hu/2015/) in Budapest, Hungaria (November). I gave a talk about Rust
|
||||
6. [32c3](https://events.ccc.de/congress/2015/wiki/Main_Page) in Hamburg, Germany (December)
|
||||
|
||||
This includes the first conference I ever organized (otsconf) and my first real conference talk (Web Conference).
|
||||
I hope I get more opportunities to speak next year.
|
||||
|
||||
GitHub says I made 1434 countable contributions (1650 if you count private repositories) across dozens of repositories.
|
||||
I now maintain 8 published Rust crates ([9 to be really correct](https://twitter.com/badboy_/status/677815982656782336)) as well as 5 unreleased Rust libraries.
|
||||
I hope to finish up the remaining crates and polish the existing ones (and maybe bump them to a stable 1.0)
|
||||
|
||||
I released 6 versions of hiredis, 2 of hiredis-rb, 4 of hiredis-node and 2 of hiredis-py.
|
||||
My plan for 2016 is to mark hiredis as stable, push out the 1.0 release and then update the others as well
|
||||
([considering it might be used in Rails soon](https://twitter.com/badboy_/status/678889807435530241), this seems to be a good idea)
|
||||
|
||||
About 158 mails on the Redis mailing list were sent by me.
|
||||
|
||||
I posted 196 photos on [Instagram](https://instagram.com/janerikr/) and my `~/photos/2015` directory now contains about 4600 more photos.
|
||||
|
||||
I wrote more than 8600 tweets, more than half of them in reply to someone.
|
||||
I didn't quite reach my own goal of writing a bit more,
|
||||
but 12 blog posts still come down to about one per month.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### My year in photos and words
|
||||
|
||||
After the busy ending of 2014, 2015 started just as busy.
|
||||
Away from university, I spend more time working, but I found enough time for conferences and a quick one-week visit in San Francisco in April.

|
||||
|
||||
University and work kept me busy the whole summer, but I still catched a bit of the Sun.
|
||||
|
||||
After finishing up the Summer semester, I left for Norway in August.

|

{::options parse_block_html="false" /}
|
||||
|
||||
I came back for a weekend to run otsconf. It was a success, but see for yourself:

|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
Back in Norway I had the absolute best time.
|
||||
For example hiking up a hill, sitting on the Kjeragbolten thousand meter over the Fjord.
|
||||
|
||||
{::options parse_block_html="true" /}
|
||||
<p style="text-align:center">
|
||||
{:width="900px"}
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
{::options parse_block_html="false" /}
|
||||
|
||||
My semester ended early on the first of December, so I had another chance to travel around Norway.
|
||||
Even without a lot of light, the Lofoten are a beautiful place to stay.

||||

||||

{:width="900px"}
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
{::options parse_block_html="false" /}
|
||||
|
||||
With 2015 coming to an end, so are other things. I had to replace my old Laptop, which stayed with me for the last four years.
|
||||
|
||||
{::options parse_block_html="true" /}
|
||||
<p style="text-align:center">
|
||||
{:width="600px"}
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
{::options parse_block_html="false" /}
|
||||
|
||||
I really enjoyed living & traveling in Norway and I already put it on my todo list to come back in the summer.
|
||||
I was lucky to be part of so many different but welcoming communities. It's a joy every time I meet these people again.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Thanks
|
||||
|
||||
This year was so great because of all the great people I met along the way.
|
||||
Thanks to the [otsconf](https://otsconf.com/) team, [Ola][], [Shelly][], [Carsten][], [Leif][] and [Hendrik][].
|
||||
Again thanks to my employer [rrbone][] and my boss [Dominik][dominikbay] for giving me opportunities to learn and work.
|
||||
Thanks to the the new friends I made while living in Norway. I hope we manage to meet up again soon.
|
||||
Knowing people everywhere is great if you travel and I'm very grateful to all people that hosted me, like [Lotte][] in Hamburg and [Tobias][] in Tromsø.
|
||||
And thanks to all those I didn't name explicitely, but who made this year so much fun.
|
||||
|
||||
2016 won't start any less busy.
|
||||
With my next university semester only starting in April, I will make the best of that time. The next trip starts in less than five days.
