[sllug-members]: Utah Open Source Conference

> Hey, now that UTOSC 2007 is over, what is everyones opinion of it?

Good conference. Well worth the time.

> What was your favorite presentation(s)?

I liked the Python 101 tutorial and the Xen presentation.

> What can we do to improve the conference for next year?

More time for the Keynotes! The keynote speakers were excellent and I would
have liked to have heard more of them! Also, it felt like a lot of energy
was spent "preaching to the choir". While I understand the importance of
evangelizing open source software, I would have liked a little more focus
on technical issues than on principles and ideals. I think most of the
attendees were already at least converts if not warriors in the cause. :-)

> What did you like that we did this year?

The snack room was good. Open wi-fi was a nice touch. Great keynotes.
Reasonable price. Nice variety of events. Awesome swag. Overall, from an
attendee perspective, it seemed to be really smooth and well organized. My
hat is off to the entire organizing committee (and their families).

P.S. I can't wait for the recording of Brandon's Myth TV presentation to
get posted since I missed that one!
