The USP of the event for quite a few people, definitely, was the presence of Martin Fowler, every one was hoping he would do a session.
Unfortunately that was not to be. He said he just wants to see what we talk about.
Although the wiki mentioned that the speakers should assume extensive exposure on the part of the audience and refrain from “Hello World” stuff, there was still a lot of beginner stuff going around. I hope that will improve next time.
Overall a good experience, next time I will most definitely present a talk.
