In general
Technical talks were strong, and community spirit was strong. Perhaps the view was different in the .Org Pavilion; it was the first time I spent almost an entire LinuxWorld show in the section reserved for non-profit organizations, and didn't represent any company.
Most large vendors told me that turnout was pretty good; a few complained that they hadn't been getting enough foot traffic or enough sales leads.
I saw a lot of people I knew!
The BBC had a strong reputation and all sorts of people were interested in it. It was really nice to see how many people actually sought us out to receive copies.
EFF is immensely popular among engineers, even at companies which the Linux community may not be very fond of.
The Free Dmitry movement has talented and influential people behind it.
So I was optimistic about this show, and I had a great time.
