[OSDC Israel] feedbacks from the conference

[Marc]

Hi guys, here is my feedback..

Good location (and good lunches), the main problem I found was a lack
of plugs and electricity sockets - this got better over the week as
more multi-plug adapters appeared but it was a real struggle to find a
power socket (in the main hall) most of the time...

The presentations were good, I especially enjoyed Primshree's talks
and the wide variety of language and other tutorials (even for us
non-perl guys :-)). Perhaps some more Linux stuff would have been
useful and interesting - although many people told me that is the job
of the Penguin conference and not OSDC.

The book with most of the slides has been very useful, especially for
those lectures I missed - this was a great idea and I have found it
very helpful. The Internet access however was dissapointing - no
icq/aim and I couldn't even get anything from sourceforge.net most of
the time. That gave me some real problems as I meant to work during
the conference and couldnt access much of the stuff I needed to get
to. This is really important at a conference like this and full net
access is necessary. Thanks to whoever got them to open ports for  SSH
- that made it bearable.

All in all, I had a great time and met some good people. Hope this
feedback helps somewhat,

Marc
