Last week I had the opportunity to visit a little company in Redmond and hear about what they're doing in the PHP world, what they're doing in Open Source, and generally share some feedback.  This was my seond year being invited but my first year to attend.

The Good

First of all, the entire event was well-run and executed.  OSS Dev Strategy Lead Karri Dunn and the event manager Tanya Young both did a fantastic job of putting the whole thing together and lining up numerous great presenters and events in a great location.  The Developer and Platform Evangelists (DPE in MSese) - namely Peter Laudati, Will Coleman, and Josh Holmes - were great hosts and kept things moving.
