Thank you for the great conference, Technology Experience Team!

That was the best conference I've been to. I had a great time and look
forward to working with you next year.

Thank you for providing us hosting with a personal touch: Thomas
Brenneke and Network Redux <http://networkredux.com/>.

Scott Becker, Kirsten Comandich, Sam Goldstein, Selena Deckelman, Audrey
Eschright, Amy Farrell, Sam Goldstein, Ben Hengst, James Murty, Don
Park, Brandon Philips, Adam DuVander, Peter Eschright, Rick Turoczy and...

An enormous thank you to Reid Beels for going way beyond expectations by

interfaces and graphics design, while also contributing so much to
organizing and publicizing the conference. I couldn't have done this
without you. You are awesome.

Agreed. This conference was intimate, fun, and (I feel) really productive. Thank you so much for putting it on. I look forward to volunteering and attending next year.

Thanks!

I had a great time too and really appreciated the conference's positive vibe. All the chief organizers and contributors did an amazing job putting everything together and are hopefully now enjoying a well-earned rest.

Bring on next year's event!

As I think back over the conf the thing that I think keeps jumping out
at me is how well it was structured to 'DO' things. I've been to oscon
a few times and it's very easy to feel overwhelmed. It seems that it
is structured in such a way to 'learn in session' and then 'discuss in
the halls' then 'drink and network' at night, but no space/time is
provided to ever ~do~ anything. At first I was kinda annoyed by the
longer breaks between talks, but by thrs I started to feel that the
space between sessions was the discuss time so that you hack in the
halls or you could run over to the hack lounge.

That teamed up with the unconf on Friday it was really about playing
open source, not just learning open source.

Yes, exactly! The hall track was much more productive for me than at
OSCON, and I didn't feel like I had to skip a session to hang out &
talk with people.
