So, PloneConf2005 is over and I'm back in Berlin sitting at my desk - bills, appointments, a stack of unanswered client emails, a broken washing machine and an empty fridge are waiting for me ;-) But I'm giving myself another hour or two though, before I'll start tackling all of that and will enjoy the limbo created by the waning presence of the conference and the increasing gravitational pull of the real life[tm] while it lasts...

There's the obligatory flickr tag if you want to get an idea of what it looked like here (although none of the photos do the venue justice - it used to be the props studio for the Vienna Opera where they would create and store the huge backdrops for the stage which is why all the doors and ceilings are so insanely high...)

So now I'll be sorting out all those gazilillon scribbled notes I took during the conference and enter the all business cards I've received into my addressbook. Personally, the most interesting contacts that I've made at the conference are those of other "one-man-plone-shops" such as myself - it's great to see that others are going down (and succeeding on) the same path that I have set for myself and I believe that there is a very real opportunity for synergies and mutual support. Time will tell ;-)

Wrapping it up I can say the conference has exceeded all my expectations, thanks to all who attended and who I've been able to talk to and also to Gogo of blue dynamics for his very generous hospitality: thanks for having us and don't forget to check your fridge ;-)
