I heard about this event recently. Music production, sound recording, Trinity Road (ex-)Church, sounds good.

Hmmm……. well, it was shit. To be fair, it wasn't 100% shit, but near enough, dammit!

It's a since long time I decided that open source (let's say linux) meeting would be boring.

Now that's hardly constructive criticism, is it Paul? It was a volunteer-run community event, so if it didn't meet your standards then you've only got yourself to blame. I do know that other people enjoyed it, and you're more than welcome to help make it better for next year.

I knew I shouldn't have let googlebot trawl my blog ;-p
But seriously, I take your point, absolutely. My comment is purely subjective, and I do only have myself to blame. I did enjoy certain parts of it, but the day out as a whole didn't leave me feeling great. So, for anyone else reading this in hope of getting a feeling for the event, realise that what you're getting is my feelings and not a feeling for the event.
Hmmm, so you're planning on another one next year? I may be interested in helping out, if I have the time, enthusiasm, and, more importantly, think that I actually have something worthwhile to offer.
