[GT2005] Cocoon GetTogether 2005 is over... But wait! There's more!

Hi all,

Many thanks to all speakers that have made the program friday so nice.. And of course, all the attendees that were there at the Hackathon days, the dinners and the presentation day. I had fun.

And now.. Goodies!
You can relive the full GT day at the following page, which holds all slides, the booklet and the audio recordings:

I hope you enjoy them!

Arje,

Thanks for putting together such a great event.  It was obvious how much 
work you put into it.

And thanks to all the new friends/colleagues I got to finally meet in 
person.  I had a wonderful time laughing, eating & drinking, and 
occaisionally actually talking about Cocoon with you all. 

If your travels should happen to bring you to Southern California, 
please drop me a note so we can get together before the next GetTogether.

Ralph

So did I...

<insert tone="paternalistic">
After organizing the GT for three years, at first it felt like giving 
my baby away when I started polling the list if anyone else was willing 
to volunteer to take over the drudgeries of sorting out the events' 
logistics and administration. However, the GT had the momentum to start 
travelling, and you're a bad father if you keep your kids at home for 
reasons of sheer protectiveness.

So I was happy when Arjé volunteered, and honestly, every expectation I 
had was easily surpassed by him and Sandra. Together, they were an ace 
crew who did a tremendous job this year. So thanks - a lot - for 
nursing the baby, and who knows where (or: if) it will travel next 
year. I just hope to see it back one more time in Ghent again before it 
finally grows up and decides to quit its father's place. ;)

Now, the only downside of not organizing the GT is the fact one tends 
to party harder - and the ensuing side effects of that. Let me grab 
another cup of coffee... :)

Cheers,

</Steven>

Hi All,

As always it was fantastic to see you all again, and to have some  
serious fun hacking, partying, and rib-demolishing :)

Major kudos to Arje + team for organising this years event,  
outstanding job mate!

Looking forward to the next time we all cross tracks again!

Cheers,

Marcus

PS. Did anyone notice the spike in the Heineken stock price over the  
GT :)

And a big thank you to Arjé and everyone at Hippo for such superb  
organisation and all the hard work you put in - it was appreciated!

I hope you've all recovered now ;-)
