I suspect most of us going to the April Get-Together won't be traveling for a while afterwards.
Would be excellent to see you in Tours though! :) For those that haven't had the pleasure of meeting Mohammad in person, he's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. One big heart. A couple days into ApacheCon and I think he met everyone in the entire conference :) Even people in the nearby restaurants knew him by name. It was quite awesome to see. -David On Mar 2, 2011, at 4:44 AM, Mohammad Nour El-Din wrote: > Hey guys anybody attending this, there is a big chance that I will.
