Winter conference a guide
- A day by day guide
- Get there the night before - so many people are delayed and miss the beginning
- All partner conferences have free wifi - however Nicolas will be streaming the community day live so please keep your own bandwidth usage down so it does not interfere.
- Tweet lots (what is the hash tag) #ezwinterconf11 or #ezwinterconf
- Always always attend the community track - the future of eZ will be driven by it’s community so if a partner / hug a community member
- get your seat and power socket early. - most have power at the end. Apart from Barcelona that was in an amazing, but plug free zone
- Take time to meet the eZ crew - it will be worth it
- Mingle - The conference is more about meeting the other community members than the speeches.
- Day 2 is normally a straight partner update sort of day
- So keep hydrated and make sure your laptop was fully charged overnight
- You will get to interview the eZ Board. It is crucial, you question the board. This is the one time a year we get to do this, so prepare your questions well and do not stop till you get an answer.
