I've been back from OpenTech 2008 for a day now, but what with popping by the Cowley Road carnival haven't had a chance to produce a coherent post about it. Suffice it to say, though, that it was a great experience: thanks to all the organizers for such a fantastic event, and for little or no entrance fee. The cheap ULU student bar was also a treat at the end of a hard day's, um, conferencering.
The session I compèred went reasonably well: I can't say my elegant prose exactly sparkled, and I occasionally found myself getting into the subjects being discussed so much that I forgot to flash the "X minutes left" warning signs. With that in mind, thanks are due to speakers Ben, Steven, Roo and Nick for both their talks and their patience. Hopefully there'll be some area for speakers to upload their slides etc. soon, so I can link their names through to it when that happens.
