I want to hook up to this e-mail from @Tony Thomas. First: Special thanks to Jon, Quim and
Rachel (and the Wikimedia travel team!) to make it possible to be there so shortly. It was
a great experience, see all people "in real live and in color", talk to them and
be part of the discussions, presentations and shared ideas and visions :)
For me, it was really productive to talk to the peoples directly and discussed recent
problems and find solutions and first steps to a solution.
Thanks!
Florian

Betreff: Re: [Wikitech-l] [Engineering] DevSummit appreciation
Thanks again to the Foundation for inviting volunteers ( like me ) to the summit. It was a
great experience to see my mentors and other guys in IRC off-line face to face for the
first time.
Regarding the BounceHandler extension - I could get various inputs from other devs who had
implemented the same in their environment. The stay and location was superb. I missed some
Indian foods though ( thanks to the fruits ). Our deployment plans got delayed due to the
security bug that came, making the Ops team busy. We hope to get it done this week
though.
Thanks again Qum and Rachel and other staff+volunteers for such a great event.
Thanks,

As Erik said, I know I'm probably going to be driving Rachel and Quim
nuts with my handwringing and second guessing as we figure out the
pros and cons of how things went this year so that we can keep
improving this. But, both of them (and everyone they pulled in)
worked like hell put on a great show, and gave us a wonderful space to
have some great conversations about our future engineering direction. Thank you!

Agreed - we had a great space and good support,
the WiFi worked,
power strips everywhere, and there was always coffee. I can ask for
little more... ;)
Thanks also to our fellow attendees -- I had a lot of great
conversations and got a lot of data points to help set my work
directions for the
coming
months.
Everybody there was awesome even when we had contentious issues -- I
want to thank everybody for having a positive attitude and working together.

Just a quick note that I really appreciated
everyone's help making
the summit come together. As always, we'll be doing lots of
second-guessing
of
everything we did and didn't do, and how we
want to use future
time together. Before we go into that, I'd like to thank the event
team and _everyone_ who worked to and beyond the point of
exhaustion to organize
the
event, support attendees, plan sessions,
facilitate conversations,
negotiate sometimes difficult terrain.
Thank you. :)
