Unfortunately I had a raging cold the whole time, and was barely lucid, but I got to see the new Red Hat office, put faces to names etc. Room service is really nice when you are sick as a dog in bed.
One of the most interesting reflections I had on talking to people, was that open source isn't considered just because its open source (as in the fact that it is cheaper up front) but more on feature for feature merits. This is quite a change from years past.

The demonstrations of the BRMS and other new features went really well (surprisingly for me) - I was really happy with it (as were others).
While there I also joined, remotely, a Dallas user group for rule based tech users. That was quite interesting (James Owen was speaking) - I will definitely join next month as the timezone is perfect for me. Lots to learn...
I still have a nasty cold, but its on the mend, hopefully soon, as at the end of the week I am returning to Sydney (Blue Mountains to be more accurate). Whence I will spend my spare time scanning realestate.com.au and domain.com.au for a house to live in ;)
There presentation I did is here.
