However I don&#8217;t recall that anyone asked me about <a href=\"http:\/\/openarkkit.googlecode.com\/svn\/trunk\/openarkkit\/doc\/html\/introduction.html\">openark-kit<\/a>. Most were just interested in what <em>common_schema<\/em> was. I get that <em>openark-kit<\/em> is well known by now to many.<\/p>\n<p>We did not have so many visitors, which played well with our occasional absence. But this was a last moment arrangement. In future events I may try to get things on top and have an army of volunteers to help me out (and I hope that by next time common_schema is widely used).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/code.openark.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cookie_monster.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-6300\" alt=\"cookie_monster\" src=\"http:\/\/code.openark.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cookie_monster.jpeg\" width=\"200\" height=\"277\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now for the criminal department: practically all other DotOrg booths came prepared, with printed material, giveaway stuff and the like. We were like way beyond &#8220;the minimalist&#8221;. We were &#8220;the poor and the pitiful&#8221;. So I asked Kortney if she could arrange me some decorations (pulling some strings &#8211; yeah!). We were thinking a bowl of candies or something. Eventually she brought a few dozen candies (no bowl) and laid them nicely on the table; very nice touch! Good mixture of colors, nice wave design.<\/p>\n<p>And guess what? Visitors actually thought they may take one of our candies! Oh, I schooled them.<br \/>\nBut on Wednesday, when we arrived to the booth, a horrid sight stroke us: someone stole (and probably ate) 80% of our candies!<br \/>\nWell, I hope you&#8217;ve got bellyache, and next time you should know there will be surveillance, candy-thief!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yay!
