My posts here have been a little scant of late, mainly because I have been preparing for the conference. Now that it’s started, I can hardly believe it.

I’m hoping to blog my experiences as much as I can, but I think it’s a rather fine line between spending all my time on a computer while at the conference, and actually doing things, and talking to people (and having experiences worth writing about). So I’m not going to promise to blog everything live, but I’ll do my best to report events as I go.  I’ve already started, and look forward to reading about others’ experiences of the conference. You can follow events or contribute on either the official blog, or the blog the conf blog. We even have some colleagues from Sydney blogging their experiences for their colleagues back Over East (as we like to say here in the West). Yes, it’s all happening this week!
