US Open Source Think Tank 2010 wrap-up

The main reason I switched over to blogger.com is because I wanted to talk about this truly amazing event I attended this weekend, the OpenSource Think Tank.

The private, invitation-only event was held at the Meritage Resort in Napa, California. A perfect venue for such an event IMHO. The event was organized by the Olliance Group and DLA Piper, sponsored by a number of open and not-so-open source companies, you can see a list on the main Think Tank Site. (Thanks a ton to the sponsors btw).

The three day event started with a 90 minute drive from Sunnyvale to Napa on a sunny Thursday morning (we followed this route) in the company of my Fiancee. There was no additional charge for bringing another person around so I thought putting her into the Spa was the best way of ensuring she wouldn't complain about myself working through the weekend :-)
