Hello my good friends of the community!
Let me be the first one to give a BIG THANK YOU! to all those who participated of the first community-organized openSUSE Conference. Watching the videos I saw a presentation by Kostas and Stella detailing some of the challenges and also the positive things that they experienced as they organized this event and boy... that was a lot to do! So a big thank you hug to them two and also Carlos Ribeiro. He did a splendid job with artwork for the venue.
I believe it is important for the rest of our community to know that working like this, with no pay whatsoever, with hours off regular jobs, leaving family and friends, just to do work for fun in our community is a tough thing and can go unrecognized.
For all of those who sacrificed a little to make the conference possible
clap, clap, clap.

It was amazing, so I join you in applauding the local team! I'm also extremely glad that we had the live streaming and recording - and that people could join remote. I think there are a few kinks to work out but there was the option to ask questions and it worked. Real cool! BTW Jürgen shared that all 116 video's are online for your viewing pleasure, so now Kostas and Stella also get to see the conference talks ;-) Hugs, Jos
