It was a wholly awesome event. The most well-run VCF in the history of
the VCF (all talks on time and recorded and video taped). Nearly a
perfect exhibit (one problem with a circuit breaker on Sunday that was
promptly fixed) with Kraftwerk playing in the background, not to mention
the excellent exhibits themselves. We had broadband Internet access
in the Exhibit Hall plus a WAP. Plenty of good stuff in the vendor
area (much stuff for which I had to quell my impulse to buy, though I
did get a lot of keen donations). Lots of great literature at the
Propaganda Zone. Tours to the Computer History Museum, the California Air
and Space Center (which were only a short walk away) and an excursion to
the DigiBarn (
http://www.digibarn.com). And the attendance was way
higher than expected (right up around 300).
In my opinion it was one of the best VCF's yet. Next year it will be even
bigger and better.
I will now turn my sights to VCF East 2.0.
