Seems like it was a killer event. Would have especially loved to have caught the Django talk, have caught up with Paul Cooper and met the author of PiTiVi.

Unfortunately it wasn't to be, but great to see the momentum of community run events like this. Looks like Guadec is going to be in the midlands of England next year, so if we're still around for that, maybe I can go to that (and of course, LugRadio Live 2007).

One of the best things for me is the possibilities of where we'll be (I'm talking about the larger Open Source community when I say we - of course it's a gross generalization to imagine it's one group) a year from now. A year ago, Ubuntu was beginning to hove onto the horizon, XGL was a collection of letters that didn't belong together. It'd be quite interesting to chart all the developments in the Open Source community on a timeline so that you could see where things have moved. It'd necessarily be selective, otherwise you'd suffer from a serious case of information overload, but I think you could still make it somewhat interesting. 

The slow moving beast that is Green Leaf Technologies now has an RSS framework. Django's RSS is actually really easy to use, but there are quite a few steps involved.

This whole site's development has been significantly slowed by the fact that I'm full time employed right now, but since I'm getting to use Django at work as well, I don't begrudge it at all, and I think overall my familiarity with Python and Django are definitely benefitting.
