CommunityOne First Impressions

Well. it’s true what they say about Americans. They like to do things big. I hadn’t had my head around exactly what 15000 people at a conference would look like, but I’m slowly beginning to. Moscone is bloody huge! All this space, and I’m having trouble finding a coffee though Thankfully can see folks getting the juice of the bean set up The swag is great.

Today’s schedule is all about community stuff, everything from operating systems, tools, tools and languages. Scripting is the flavour of the moment: Groovy, Ruby, Python. I only have a few things of real interest scheduled in today (nice light start compared to tomorrow) – Lightning Talks and JUGs. The unconference looks like it will be the big ticket item for me.
