Mozilla Developers Meeting in Europe 1.0

We had a european Mozilla developers meeting and party on september 23rd and 24th. There were some 20+ folks from all over europe, which was fun. We had sessions saturday afternoon and sunday morning, partying saturday night. As this was our first meeting, the schedule wasn't be very strict. Indeed, we changed it several times a day.

The location was in Eschborn near Frankfurt. The conference was hosted by S.E.S.A. Thanx alot to them, I got great support.

The meeting was composed of several sessions, each with a chairman, who would present some initial information. There was no strict order of the sessions, so we could spend time on the topics depending on interest. We didn't have parallel sessions, which was nice.

We had two PCs, one running Windows, one linux, both had a rather up-to-date nightly running. They were attached to a beamer for display, and had network connection. The setup worked great.

If you want to comment on anything, feel free to use the mailing list, or look at the folks page for a mailto link.
