Whatever conferences Michael and I went to, we always invited anyone at the conference to hang out in our room. We shared our food and it was bring your own beer, and we talked code, politics and anything you could want late into the night.
The first Community Suite took place during Devcon 2001, and it was really an extension and a broadening of our usual hospitality. Like the Con Suite at a science fiction convention, the Community Suite is a place with food, drink and a quiet atmosphere, where community members can hang and take a break from the busyness of the conference. The Suite is whatever you want it to be. Come and browse through our CF_Library, if that's what moves you -- study for your certification exam at the conference or simply read for your own knowledge. Join the CF_Fight_Club and go head to head with another community member on one of the many games we'll have (thanks to Erika and Philip for volunteering their gaming systems, and to Hal for the loan of his projector). Or just sit back, relax, have a muffin or two, and join in the banter (and hijinks) in between sessions of Devcon. Last year, people got up to show off their code, give presentations and just let people know what they knew. A lot of important talk went on in the Suite, and even more will go on this year. The Community Suite is really a place where the community can be -- well -- the community. The Suite will be open from October 27 - 30, at the Walt Disney Dolphin, Room TBA. We will be putting up more specific information very shortly, including the room number of the Suite, so that there will be no questions this year of people not finding the room. So yes, Candace (and Paul and everyone else on the list), we hope you will stop by and enjoy the Community Suite this year, and meet members of the community face to face. .
