Always forgot to tell you guys: I flew to good old Bern last week, speaking at LOTS, an Open Source conference / trade show. The second time is always hard for such an event, no doubt, but the organizer did a pretty good job again. I summarized my impressions (in german) on the LOTS open blog, my Moodle presentation is online, too.
There were considerably less participants this time, but I guess their overall "quality" improved. Chatting with folks like Stefano, David and Michi makes such events truely worthwhile indeed.
