This conference being my first real-world exposure to the Plone Community I naturally didn't quite know what to expect. Yesterday evening however, at the opening meeting (which took place at a restaurant, not at the conference venue) - as the evening progressed - I already knew that I'll get my money's worth here just by watching the people and how they interacted. It was incredibly loud - but there was no music playing. Just a large room with several dozen of people talking - happily, lively and intense. Makes for quite an atmoshpere, I can tell you.

My goals for the conference (besides attending talks and tutorials) are going to meet the two folks who wrote the new ResourceRegistry in Plone 2.1 and not let go of them until I understood how it works - currently it's still driving me nuts ;-)

Secondly I'd finally like to really wrap my head around Lingua Plone and get a working setup.

The venue is great (alas, not heated and I'm so glad I've brought my fleece...) and I'm really pleased with the organizational aspects of everything.
