Hi Jeremias and everyone,

I did the presentation on Apache FOP Thursday morning. All went well, I 
had about 20 people in a regular size room. People were interested in 
the presentation overall, but what they were most interested in is the 
entire tool chain from XML to PDF. When I showed them an example of some 
work I have done using Docbook XML and output it in customized XHTML and 
PDF there eyes widened. That really spiked their interest !

Little anecdote, I highly recommended Definitive XSL-FO and a person 
actually bought it online during the presentation. Wow !

I've seen Carsten Ziegeler from Cocoon, and met with Ferdinand Soethe 
from the Apache Forrest project.

I found ApacheCon to be very well organized in general. The weather here 
in Austin is great. I'll be heading back to Montreal this afternoon.

Regards to all,

Patrick Paul
