I'm sitting on a plane from Paris to Philadelphia after Drupalcon. My feeling was very good about the Con. The presentations that I attended were, in general, good. There were a few that were not-so-great, but that's pretty normal. Not all sessions will be great. I took quite a bit of video - not all sessions, but quite a few. I took some notes. I'll get my notes and video up on line as I'm able.

Some observations - while the venue was really very good (I love universities and this was a great campus) it was small for our community. The cons have been getting larger and larger and only having space for 800 people was limiting. Voting for sessions should have had a start day after proposals are closed and an end date. Sessions were announced rather late reducing the amount of time folks had to prepare. Internet access was a little flakey at times, but by and large it was pretty good. Some rooms like the basement theatre had very poor reception. The sponsor tables were central, which I thought was a very good decision. Sponsors should be easily recognized and found. The big video screens provided to the upper level sponsors was a nice touch allowing for some interesting content to be shared. The mic-ing of the rooms was really good, even in the small rooms. The food was quite good.

Having conventions in cities with an International Airport is important. Paris was ideal in this regard. The city was pleasant to hang out in. The metro system rocks.

All in all, I think this was a really great convention. Thanks everyone!
