ApacheCon Europe Final Day
I am now sitting in the terminal in Detroit waiting for my connecting flight to Lexington. I have been here since 5:30 est and my plane doesn’t leave until 9:09 est… suckage. Add to that my body thinks it is actuall 1:55 in the morning (Stuttgart Time) and you can see that I am just having loads of fun. There will be a proper ApacheCon Europe wrap-up post tomorrow, or Tuesday… see you all then.
Well it is the final day of ApacheCon Europe, and I am sitting in the final keynote which is covering the state of patents in Europe.
The convention has been extraordinary. I can’t adequately explain how blessed I feel for being able to be with these people, and to hear what they have to say.
So I am sure you are wondering how my talk went, since it was this morning. It didn’t go very well. Apparently none of the talks were well attended, the Ruby on Rails talk only had 30 people… that is just scary. I had 8, including 3 other speakers who felt sorry for me, and the chair.
Add to that that without questions from the audience I burned through my material in 35 minutes, leaving 15 minutes for questions, which by and large did not come. Just fun.
Well that is all for now, this talk is very good, and I don’t want to miss any of it.

Do you have a podcast of it? There are people like me who are always on the wait for your next post here. I’m sure you’re talk is even more interesting.

well as a man of faith you know nothing is without a reason or purpose, He wouldnt have brought you there without having a purpose. you might have said something that ONE of those 8 locked in on and will make a difference.
I would have loved being there to hear your presentation.

Thanks for the well wishes guys.
Clint, I am not sorry I went, or think that nothing good came of it, just that I wish the talk had gone a little better.
Jennifer, you see DrBacchus is NOT an impartial judge and so is disqualified from judging the worth of my talk.
Kates, unfortunately there is no podcast of the talk, but there are some slides you can access. I will post a URL to them sometime later.
