It was a great session- I learned a lot from him. He is a very funny
guy as well- Only downfall was that room was so hot! Super jam
packed.
So at the end he showed a slide about some "Pixel2002" event coming
up? I googled it and did not find anything on it. Does anybody have
more information about that?
