OK, ApacheCon was some time ago. I was very busy the last weeks, but I still want to write something about my impressions.
Let's start from the scratch. We started 2nd May from Berlin. Having some security trouble at the airport we reached Amsterdam aproximately 1h later. After checking into our hotel, we went through the Amsterdam harbor and reached the Mövenpick Hotel were the ApacheCon tooks place. After that I had my first face-to-face contact with Apache members when I met the registration board. You can see a picture of those cool guys below. Unfortunately my registration was misplaced and thus it took the whole day to get me in officially.
During the following days I met a lot of very talented programmers and heard many interesting talk. It was very impressive and inspiring to be surrounded by so much intelligence. And Amsterdam is still a nice place to go as well. Summarized, I enjoyed this conference very much and plan to attend next year again.
