FOSS4G: Was it all a Dream?

Just a week ago, I was addressing the opening plenary session at FOSS4G! It all feels like a blur now, and it is very hard to remember anything distinctly.

Ironically, for all the talking and speaking I did, the things I remember most clearly are the few talks I had time to get into, and listen quietly, on pgRouting, and the new spatial ETL tool from Camptocamp. Perhaps because these are the two talks where I learned something new and interesting. The rest was just reciting things I already knew, which is interesting perhaps (I hope) for those on the receiving end, but less stimulating for me.

Level Two

I walked through the conference centre on the way home from work yesterday... it was shut tight, sadly quiet, and geek-free.

Meanwhile, the second geospatial conference in as many weeks ran today. Make of it what you will. :)

Paul, I thoroughly enjoyed the conference. I hope that all the newcomers felt as welcome as I did.

Thank you, Paul!
It was great! I still feel exciting when I recall all those wonderful people I met and all those things happend to me during the conference. And I'm happy to know that you learned something new from my uneven speech :)
I'm realy excited, thank you!
