A Devcon 2006 Story
Hey folks I just wanted to mention that you guys that didn't manage to come to the devcon really missed a great event! Not only did we have a great time socializing and actually meating the persons behind the nicks and names we've been seeing online for years, we also managed to discuss and deal with _all_ items on the agenda, and most of them with a great and at least in my view satisfactory outcome. I'm absolutely certain that users and other devs will see and appreciate the outcome from this, not the least in things like the already in-progress work on a 3.0 release. (Yes, we should do some kind of summary of all the talks of the agenda items and publish.) Random Memorable Happenings: - Christi and Brandon arriving several hours late after a having got off at the wrong bus stop, taken the subway and gotten off at the wrong station etc etc... - The What are you sinking about commercial - The massive interest for our webcam on IRC and elsewhere. It help us feel almost like #rockbox were with us there. Thanks and credits go to: - everyone who has donated money to the project, as we used some of these funds for drinks, snacks and food during the devcon. Please continue donating for the benefit of the project so that we can continue to support and sponsor development-related activities. - Jens, Jörg, Christi and Brandon for being devoted enough to cross country borders to come here. - Contactor for letting us use the offices that served as a pretty neat surrounding, with a fine network, webcam, printer, conference room, coffee machine and even space and sofas for sleeping. - Haxx donated the shirts. And before asking, we still have not quite decided on how to proceed with the remainders of the shirts we have. I'm open for interesting suggestions. Some thoughts for Devcon 2007: - We should probably set a date even earlier than this year to allow people to plan for devcon even longer in advance. - We should prepare for the food situation slightly better, at least if we'll be situated at the same place or in a similar surrounding. We did have to resort to backup plans several times... -- Daniel Stenberg A Devcon 2006 Organizer
Re: A Devcon 2006 Story
