Hi all, Thanks for all your kind words. I did have an excellent time last friday, and I'm very happy to hear everyone else did too.
There were just a couple of things that didn't really work out - like the hackaton for example. Maybe it's because it was the first time, maybe it was because we were running an afternoon/evening show instead of the whole day. I'd like to do that differently next time. Also, I think the programme was quite pressing, given that it was at the end of the week *and* at the end of the day. Next time, I'd like to have some more kick ass demoing on stage just to keep up the vibe. I was exhausted afterwards :) But it was incredible to have so many people show up and stick around until 11 PM. At the peak, I counted 74 people in the room and given the fact that we had 92 people signed up, I think that was much more than we could've ever wished for. It says something about the community and the project when sending out 2 emails (one to the user list, one to the NLJUG list) is enough to bring together such a crowd. It also says something about the type of event - low barrier, easy access, and free. Community driven. It makes an excellent addition to the much broader targeted ApacheCon conferences [1], attracting new people to the Apache communities. I'm looking forward to the next edition :) What if we just block the same room again around the ApacheCon Europe in April? Not to be an alternative to ApacheCon - rather as an addition. This will give people even more reason to attend the ApacheCon. Let me know.
