Just a quick note that I really appreciated everyone's help making the summit come together. As always, we'll be doing lots of second-guessing of everything we did and didn't do, and how we want to use future time together. Before we go into that, I'd like to thank the event team and _everyone_ who worked to and beyond the point of exhaustion to organize the event, support attendees, plan sessions, facilitate conversations, negotiate sometimes difficult terrain.
Thank you. :)
Erik
Here, here! Thanks to everyone who helped put this event together. Great job!

Agreed - we had a great space and good support, the WiFi worked, power strips everywhere, and there was always coffee. I can ask for little more... ;)
Thanks also to our fellow attendees -- I had a lot of great conversations and got a lot of data points to help set my work directions for the coming months.
Everybody there was awesome even when we had contentious issues -- I want to thank everybody for having a positive attitude and working together.

I have to say: I think the presentations this year were better than ever, and we definitely got a lot of important discussion done concerning the future of SOA and MediaWiki.

Yeeees, this. It was awesome and there were issues, but there are always issues and when none of the issues were problematic that's great. If that makes sense; I still haven't slept after getting back from it. But you know what I mean.
Seriously, thank you to everyone - those who put in all the work to make it happen, and those who were there and did stuff and things and things and stuff and I'm babbling yay why am I even awake.
Huge +tons to everything below (and top posting to drive Mz up the wall) :-)
As Erik said, I know I'm probably going to be driving Rachel and Quim nuts with my handwringing and second guessing as we figure out the pros and cons of how things went this year so that we can keep improving this. But, both of them (and everyone they pulled in) worked like hell put on a great show, and gave us a wonderful space to have some great conversations about our future engineering direction. Thank you!

Thanks again to the Foundation for inviting volunteers ( like me ) to the summit. It was a great experience to see my mentors and other guys in IRC off-line face to face for the first time. Regarding the BounceHandler extension - I could get various inputs from other devs who had implemented the same in their environment. The stay and location was superb. I missed some Indian foods though ( thanks to the fruits ). Our deployment plans got delayed due to the security bug that came, making the Ops team busy. We hope to get it done this week though. Thanks again Qum and Rachel and other staff+volunteers for such a great event.

I want to hook up to this e-mail from @Tony Thomas. First: Special thanks to Jon, Quim and Rachel (and the Wikimedia travel team!) to make it possible to be there so shortly. It was a great experience, see all people "in real live and in color", talk to them and be part of the discussions, presentations and shared ideas and visions :)
For me, it was really productive to talk to the peoples directly and discussed recent problems and find solutions and first steps to a solution.
Thanks! Florian
