I think it was great. We had our own room and two days of
presentations. I did my tutorials, and had other speakers. I think we
had about 10 people for every talk. I think our devroom was the most
active. Many other devrooms were used just for laptop hacking, which
is kind of boring.
We weren't invited back in 2004 because they had a different focus. I
think some folks were there for 2005 (Peter?) and 2006 (Josh?). I do
think it is a good conference because it is low cost, very techical, and
conveniently located for Europeans.
