Came back from SUN Tech Days 2007
Sun Techdays 2007 was held successfully in Beijing from Nov. 1 to Nov. 3.
Comparing with previous one, this year's tech day has some differences from last year's.
There were more developers attending this year's techday, around 5k registration for the first day's meetings. For the third day's OpenSolaris Day, there were around 180 people in the one day meeting.
And more exciting thing is that I had the opportunity to be the host for OpenSolaris Beijing user group meeting. : )
It was really a fresh experience for me. Since I am a member of Speakeasy@sunbeijing Toastmaster club, and I practice a little bit from each TM meeting, I didn't felt nervous and I found that I like to give some impromptu talks other than prepared speeches. It was really amazing experience. A colleague told me that he didn't find my talk was that literary during our everyday talk before, and he liked my hosting style. I was happy to hear so. And I am also grateful for so many attendees on the spot, because all of them have the passion for OpenSolaris, for OpenSource.
Only one comment for the whole tech day activity is that they provided SunRays for users to try, but the server was quite slow and there were no Chinese fonts and locale on the JDS. They were not good experiences for most Chinese users, I guess.

No problem. We still have a lot of user group meetings in future. You still have a chance to host and attend;)
