- Meeting other free distro folk and some of the GNU people I heard about.
- Learning about projects that I didn't know much about yet.
- Close to where I live.

- Acoustics were not too great, which made it hard to understand the
speaker sometimes. Maybe only open the windows between talks next time.
- The keysigning was not very orderly. Perhaps as a keysigning newbie I
was partly responsible for messing it up, though. :)

Proper beer would have been nice. ;)

I liked it how it was: a main theme + other topics.

The small scale was one of the great things about the meeting for me. I
find people more approachable then (and easier to find :) ). 100 people
is still cool, I'd say.

It influenced Karl to attend, which in turn influenced me to attend, so
seems like a good thing.

Thanks for making this happen.
