Oh, and…
Some much-needed recharge time here:
Photo credit: Konstantin Kovshenin. But he’s in it! So I’d also love to give proper credit to the person who really took it.
On top of all that (phew!) it was one of those rare conferences that really reworked my brain. I feel incredibly lucky to have had two of those this year, and just like AdaCamp DC in July, I left this one with a whole new sense of focus and community, mixed with some real, practical new knowledge and action.
There are summaries of the morning and afternoon discussions, with more detailed notes to come. I’ve always felt that the mark of a great conference is that I want to clone myself several times over in order to take in everything that’s going on at once. This one had that, plus overflow into more discussions (and hacking on everything and anything) the next day. Each session produced action items, many of which are already underway. There are new projects underway, making features people have wanted for a very, very long time. And I’m pretty sure the media system got about 3 new versions overnight…
I’m still processing so I can formulate actual words. :)
Hugs! More hugs!
I know! I’m amazed that I managed to get to the point of HEY LOOK SHINY THING.
Totally echoing what Andrea said :) Hopefully, we will all be processing for a few days & it will gel into lots of good things for the community.
Thanks for coming, it was a pleasure to meet you! Haven’t been to the beach myself yet, but hopefully will find time to do that in the coming days. Cheers!
It was nice meeting you all, that was one of my favorites for sure. Talking to people online is one thing, but seeing folks in person is whole different story.
Would it be possible to get the photo in a larger format by any change and maybe list all people in it as well?
Thanks,
Emil
Meeting you (and all the theme reviewers who were there) was a major highlight of the trip for me — since WPTRT was the first bit of WP I got involved with, there was a family reunion feeling to seeing you all even within the joy of the bigger gathering.
As for the photo, I grabbed that one from Konstantin’s post (and completely forgot to caption it — I’ll do that as soon as I post this!). They’re cleaning up the group photos that were taken and I’m sure there will be a better version out there soon.
Thanks Amy, I feel the same way. I haven’t seen the Konstantin’s post yet, but I will check it out. There’s one more with TRT only I think.

I’m so glad it was a good conference; sound like you had fun AND got good info/inspiration from it.
I know you were looking forward to it!
