!!AWESOME!!
.. It exceeded my highest hopes. Basically, I had a grand time,
and I hope you guys did, too. The excitement at the conference
was palpable. Anyone needing help was deluged with offers, many
hatchets got buried (amazing how meeting the real person behind
an online persona does that!), many new friends made and
collaborations formed, rvalue references resolved, and lots was
learned from the variety and depth of the presentations.
I want to shout out to Facebook for hosting and providing
smooth and well-oiled conference logistics (and great food &
gallons of coffee!), Sociomantic's and Remedy's and Andrew
Edwards' generous sponsorship along with the many other
kickstarters, without whom this conference would not have been
possible.
And, of course, thanks to our speakers who packed 3 days wall
to wall with high quality talks. Other conferences I've
attended tended to fade away the last day, but this one ran at
full power right to the end. Thanks to our attendees for making
it worthwhile for the speakers to come. Many of the speakers
were first timers, and were treated to a most friendly and
eager audience.
Yes, the talks were recorded and will be made available online.
We hope to get some photos up soon, too.
We'll definitely be doing one next year, so start roughing out
your presentations now!
I'm glad to see that the slides and videos are being posted to
the dconf site. Are all of the photos going to be put in one
place on the site? I'd love to get my hands on that "rock star"
pic of me, Walter, and Andrei :-)
