Hi All, I am amazed to see the number of people (from various backgrounds) attended the conference. I wanted to write a big feedback, but found a similar one at zope mafia, written by Chris McDonough. (http://www.zopemafia.com/Members/chrism/ploneconf2) All the talks were really good and highly inspiring. Case studies presented were not that impressive. I am looking forward to attend the second plone conference.

I was in the "streaming crowd" and I thought it was great to make the conference available live, short of being at the conference in person. It was a bit like listening to a baseball game on radio (the screen was virtually invisible because of faint colors on a white background and poor image resolution and also the presenters were virtually invisible because they were greatly underexposed due to the sheer luminance of the screen), but I still enjoyed it very much.

I've been watching the various zope/plone lists for about 10 months now and I was eager to "meet" some of the people I can read on those lists. I wholeheartedly agree with the statement Paul Everitt made in his closing talk about being so lucky to be in such a great user/developer community.

I look forward to checking base with the various news groups everyday, as I find it is a source of inspiration. Rarely have I found so many helpful, thoughtful people around a community project. Plone conference 1 was a bit like the series of Extreme Markup Languages conferences (I attended the 2002 edition last year in Montréal). No BS, no bells and whistles, just people that are passionate, serious (not all the time, luckily!) and competent with respect to information representation and management. The philosophical stance that inhabits this community thinking out loud about how to model information, then how to implement those conceptual schemes is refreshing. I really hope this community lives on and I really hope I can attend Plone conference 2 (so you guys have to organize another Plone conference!).

Cheers to you all!
