Every year I say 'best conference ever'. And this was no exception! Great job guys :)

Not just a Plone administrator track, but also a Plone content author/editor/end user track. I tried hard for Ploneconf 2010 to make sure there was at least one case-study talk in every time slot so that anyone there who was not a developer would always have something to go to. I think next year we should push this a step further. I'm a fairly technical guy myself, but I find the most interesting talks at Plone Conf the case studies. I get github notifications of cool code, I don't get the same for cool applications and uses of that code!
