>How much *did* you learn and several of the events...like the party and the jam session?

Honestly, I learned a fair amount this year. It doesn't seem to be the overload of info like last year but I'm not as fresh out of the old 2.6 closet either. And I really didn't get to see mas uch of the jam sessions as I would of liked. But as for the party, Well I still plead the 5th ;)
