The setting was beautiful, and I met some inspiring people from the world of open source software. We had conference dinner Thursday night, the beer and the wine went down well.

I am a big believer in Open Source, (I’ve thought a lot more than most people and conclude that it’s vitally important for the future of the human race) so as well as the usually great talks about software, was great to see a few people who’ve taken further action; if I was better with names I’d remember more than @piawaugh.

The major sponsors were Google, and weirdly Microsoft, afraid I can’t see my skepticism waning despite how hard MS push the OS agenda…

I look forward to more conferences likewise.
