Reflections on Øredev 2008

I wanted to write-up a few thoughts on how Øredev 2008 was as an event. In fact I’ve found my sentiments to match those of Glenn’s and Tim’s.

It was a great conference that had a real buzz, a great mix of people and a lot to talk about and sessions to attend. Although Glenn specifically calls it out in his blog, I’d like to echo his views on the hospitality of our hosts – the guys at Dotway. They were always around offering to buy a drink, organise something to do and so on. So cheers to Magnus, Linus, Anders and Michael.

Blooders and myself pulled together this video where we were lucky enough to catch-up with Bea, Eilon and Charlie Nutter from JRuby to chew the fat for a few minutes. Also bumped into Scott, Tim and others but either didn’t have a camera handy, or enough time to talk! (In particular, we were disappointed not to be able to ask Tim why his blog isn’t called Heuer-istics…)
