It's a week late, I know, but I'd like to thank Rafael for organising the Sydney meetup and also everyone who came along and presented.

We covered some interesting ground in the presentations, and it was also a bonus to be able to put faces to some of the names I've seen around here.

Here's hoping we can build a useful community of OACS developers here in Australia!

Alfred - where are you? I made the trip up from Melbourne, but if there's anyone else in this neck of the woods it'd be good to hook up. I noticed someone else mentioning they're in Melbourne a while back, but can't recall what thread it was in...
