Hi Arnaud & All I'm also making the trip across the Atlantic with a group of Brits under the heading of the Developer Mission: http://developermission.com
Please get in touch with me off list if any of you are also travelling a long way to get to San Francisco. We have a bunch of activities planned including meetups, campus tours and meals between 12th and 19th and we have room for a few more to join us. We just released the first wave of ticket's to Europe's Unofficial Twitter Developer Unconference in London on the 8th and 9th of May. They were all allocated in under an hour but we'll be releasing more soon. Details at http://warblecamp.eventbrite.com Also coming up on the evening 20th of April is the 8th Twitter Developer Nest in London. More details and free tickets available at http://twitterdevelopernest.com I'm particularly looking forward to the hackday part of Chirp and the opportunity to hear about what other people in the ecosystem are working on. I'm looking at building a one page app that we can use to get a quick daily snap shot of all the things going on in the Twitter developer ecosystem from this Google Group, to GitHub, StackOverflow and Twitter. If I get the chance I'll also be adding some refinements to a soon to be launched app I'm woking on - http://smidgn.com See you next week!
