+
+The first [Freenode #live](https://freenode.live/) conference happened
+on the weekend just passed (28th and 29th of October), and it was
+awesome but exhausting.
+
+I met up with many people, some who I'd met at previous events like
+the recent GNU Hackers Meeting and others who I'd not met before.
+
+The speaker events, both the cheese and open bar in a pub on the
+Friday, and the formal dinner on the Saturday were very enjoyable with
+lots of interesting conversation.
+
+I gave a talk on Guix, ([view the
+slides](/projects/guix/freenode-live-2017/presentation/)). As always,
+while I submitted the proposal a while in advance, I was editing the
+notes right up until Sunday morning.

+
+The freenode staff did an awesome job organising the event, and what
+they pulled off was incredible given the ticket costs. I'm guessing
+this was due to the generous sponsorship.
+
+All in all, I'm hoping to attend next year!
