Why I enjoy attending conferences (some sort of "About this blog")

I guess, everyone right now is expecting the usual perks of conferences: great locations, (hopefully) nice hotels, free food, networking... that's all nice, of course, but not what I am aiming for right now. 

Essentially, conferences inspire me - the people, the interactions, the talks. So each time I'm attending, I'm setting out to try something new. This time, my choice fell on taking up a blog on my area of research, Software Engineering. Possibly also thoughts on teaching might end up here from time to time.

With a lot of new ideas come to my mind and after collecting an awful lot of notes during some of the sessions of this first day of ICSE 2013, I found myself reluctant to bin them into my usual folder (where they might or might not get read again) and instead ready to attempt refactoring them into a blog post (which will hopefully follow this one!).

To sum up, the idea of taking up a professional blog has been lingering around the back of my head for a while. Now, also due to the encouragement of Felienne, it is coming to action.

Let's see how it goes, stay tuned!
