I'd just like to say thanks very much for organising that ... it's very useful 
to meet people we otherwise only know by email, and you managed to organise 
things well socially, not just the technical side of the meeting.

Thanks a lot also to our sponsors (BrilliantService and Dr Tomaž Slivnik) ... 
having meals paid for by them helped a lot (certainly for me) with the 
non-insignificant cost of getting together, and left us free to enjoy 
conversation at meal times rather than worrying about how much we had to pay.

I can probably only manage one such event a year ... but given that FOSDEM no 
longer seems very interesting (too large and mainstream), this sort of thing 
might be it next year too.
