Thank you!

It was great meeting you all. Hope to see you all soon again in real

Chris.

 Thanks to all who attended, it was fun all the way :-)

If I may, I would just like to add my voice to this chorus of gratitude by 
thanking Steven, Marc and Bruno (the Outerthought crew) for putting on 
such a fantastic and brilliantly organised event! 

This event has gone a long way in helping bring the cocoon cummunity
even closer together and proves once again that email contact is no
substitute for face to face contact.

Thanks a lot Guys :)

Regards,
Michael Melhem

Ps Wow ... Ghent is a very beautiful town!
 
 We'll be baack! ;-)

 Can we get something set up for discussing 2003? I would like to get a
 discussion going while the impressions are still fresh!

People _seriously_considering_to_actually_work_together_with_me_ on the
next edition, please subscribe yourself using
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (listname inspired by the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list). Everybody is free to join, etc etc - but
joining and doing anything else than lurking comes with a price...:

rantI know seriously considering to actually work together with me
sounds quite heavy but to be honest, I just experienced the amount of
work involved setting up this kind of semi-professional, but budget-wise
still manageable event, and I'd rather like fewer people who are really
willing to help out but then also are prepared to donate actual time to
it (inside normal working hours), rather than lots of volunteers for
discussion, ranting and whatelse, but no actual work being carried out.

Pretty negative, I know, but that's the experience from also being
a steering member of the xmlbelux user group, which conference 
exhibition tomorrow are attracting only half as many people as our
gettogether, even though there was a much bigger working budget. This is
partly because of quite a few of us steering members who didn't have
real bandwidth when the time was there to do things.

Matthew and I did some talking (too little) yesterday, and at least the
two of us -who might appear as having a vested commercial interest in
this kind of events-, are pretty much convinced that getting bigger
would be nice, but that we weren't willing to give up the formula and
authenticity of this event for that matter. Hence remaining a free event
if at all possible, hence having sponsors to carry the weight of the
budget, but still not being prepared for making a commercial event out
of it (and I regard ApacheCon as being a commercial event for that
matter - with sponsor speaking slots etc etc)./rant

Hope this establishes a good working spirit for next year's event.

So, everyone who couldn't attend will get very frustrated and depressed
by looking at these nice pictures. Which means: an even bigger GetTogether
next time ;) (And actually I'm a little bit depressed because we had to
leave yesterday before this interesting looking social evening event...
grumpf).

It was really a *great* event with an absolutely perfect organization.
So, again, many thanks to Steven, Marc, Bruno, their wifes and
everyone who helped to make *the event* happening.

Yes, indeed! A great event, organized very well! Thanks Steven, Marc 
and Bruno for all the effort and energy you put in having a highly 
successful meeting! As Sylvain already said, we're now a bunch of 
friends, not only some names on the mailing list.

Cheers all,
