(I really can't be stuffed referring to the "mysql conf and expo", to me it's the mysql conf).

Jay, thanks for a great conference! It was good "being back" and catching up with so many friendly community faces, and all my ex-colleagues among them. My own photos from the event are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/arjen-lentz/tags/mysqlconf08/, all tagged with 'mysqlconf08' to fit in with Mark Atwood's Flickr group.

I was present when Florian Haas (of LINBIT - DRBD) was asked by a conf delegate whether he thought the conference had been successful for him in a business sense. I wholeheartedly agree with his response, which was "Euh, let me think... hell yea!". I think that summarises it very well ;-)

Now to go on dealing with the joys and risks of (rapid) business expansion... Open Query is doing "alright" ;-)
