OSCON 2005 Wrap-up
Just got back home from OSCON 2005 in Portland, Oregon which happened Aug 1-5th.
You can see what other people are saying about it in the "blogosphere" (cue scary music). I was mostly in the booth as the pet peeve bug collector but most people already used Firefox/Thunderbird so it was a procession of thank you's and we sold out of Firefox polos and hats.
Here's my bullet point wrap up:
- Howtoons.org is very cool. Worthy of a visit.
- Asa throws like a girl but would be a mean ultimate frisbee player. Great job on the keynote.
- Fine! mcolvig kicked my ass at the Vineman. shaver, dmose, asa shut it!
- Mitchell was impressive as always, especially with her keynote/interview.
- I had already Met the Flockers. Too bad I wasn't invited to the party, or given a shirt, or asked to provide feedback on their product (it's not like I have experience in this stuff or anything), but that's cool.
- We gave a Firefox polo shirt to one of the hotel receptionists who was a big fan of Mozilla/Firefox. shaver, shrep, mitchell all watched as I gave it to him. Of course his eyes lit up.
- Portland's Max Rail system rocks.
- Next year, we're going to have a Mozilla track at OSCON, at least that's what I'm pushing for.
- Everyone was asking about a Mozilla Developer Day. Don't have the answer for that. Should've been next week after Linux World Expo. Maybe piggyback Web 2.0 conference.
- Scott Kveton, Mike Morgan and OSL sure do know how to host and I mean parties (and I hear barbecues too).
