My talk at OSSummit EU[1], which will be held next week in Spain, has accepted.  I therefore arrived in Spain early and walked the pilgrim's road[2], from Burgos to Santiago de Compostella.  After 26 days, I arrived at Santiago de Compostella yesterday.  It was about a 500 km journey.

It is of course the road of pilgrimage, but it was also a journey of DAMON[3] hacking.  I walked in the morning, took a rest and slept in the afternoon and the evening, and then hacked DAMON from midnight until morning everyday.  I had a great time to walk, show, feel, meet, think, and code.

I made a few new friends.  I also made DAMON patches[4,5,6,7,8] that I was working for the last two months without sufficient progress done in time and merged those into the mm tree.  I believe now I can move forward to the next important DAMON feature development.  I also made the first draft of DAMO's new usage document[9], which I was struggling since the DAMO v1.0.0 release.  Hopefully it will cover more DAMON use cases in a stable and convenient way.  What a grateful progress.

The journey is not finished yet, though.  My final destination of this journey is OSSummit EU.  Looking forward to meeting people and sharing some more about DAMON (the talk will be focused on DAMO, though)!

@sj wow lots of walking!
I usually only walk one or two km per day...
btw did u miss the train XD

@hyeyoo Trains frequently being delayed. Walking is more predictable ;)

@sj it's remarkable that you can work in this way (working while traveling for the whole month).
congrats for the progress you made ;)

@sj wow that's really something, congrats on pulling this off :D too bad I'm not going to OSS tho.

@sj bro you know we have cars now yeah?

@vbabka Thank you! It's a pity that you don't attend OSS, but no problem. I know we will meet in another venue :)

@sj @vbabka slubs anonymous

@ljs I'd rather walk until real fully self driving cars be available ;)

@sj you'll be walking a fucking long time then 😅

@ljs Agreed. I hope fully self driving (a.k.a self-tuning) DAMON be available before that :)
