So the GetTogether is over for another year. I'm completely exhausted - partly due to the sheer intensity of the last few days of information overload, but predominantly because of the amazing social side of the Ghent experience. I don't know of any other gathering (whether conference, hackathon, informal talks or whatever) that feels quite like the GetTogether - like a group of old friends gathering, where the community truly is more important than the code.
From new friends like Antonio with whom I was immediately sharing jokes about the notorious andrew@ spams, or Arje who can't drink as much as the English, to old friends like Marc (yeah, alright, I'll diet now!) and the Aussie contingent (let's sort that stammtisch thing out guys)... and so many others too numerous to mention. I can't wait to eat more ribs and learn more cool things about Cocoon next year!
