What *was* remarkable, and unmentioned in the announcement, is that this was the first official Ubuntu event to promote the use of Lernid, which is a Quickly application by Jono Bacon that puts users into the appropriate IRC channels and displays URLs and presentation slides automatically. It was a huge sucess, and we even found some bugs in Lernid (for example, if you address someone or prefix a statement with a word and colon (such as "Question: What is foo?"), Lernid displayed an error saying "question:" is an unknown URL protocol. ;) Lernid is going to make these events very accessible, and is a brilliant example of how to use the existing infrastructure while being as inclusive as possible.
