He he! That was from my tutorial at at ELC-E 2010 (slides and video available at Free Electrons). Or maybe it is so obvious that we just converged on the same idea. Nice talk, Karim, wish I had been there.

IIRC, he did credit someone with that slide ... I didn't catch the name (sorry!) but it could well have been you ...

That slide is priceless.

Typically, here's how I jokingly introduce it: "This isn't mine and I won't give it to you as I suspect whoever put this together is violating someone's copyright, but this is exactly how Android feels to anyone coming from a Linux background."

And indeed, that's from your ELC-E presentation. I wasn't there at your presentation either, but that slide is one of the nuggets you find when looking at slides from past events. I can tell you it sets a very good mood with the audience :)

Thanks for your kind words. Hopefully we get to meet in person at a future event.

Karim
