WE DID IT !!! A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated last week in Mozilla's first Mozilla Camp in Europe. Considering we had never done this before and that we had two short months to organize it, i think it's safe to say the camp far surpassed everyone's expectations. 200 attendees, inspiring keynotes, great sessions, intense brainstormings and a great beach-side fiesta all made last weekend a most memorable one. It was truly humbling to get to know so many Mozillians in person. I wish I had had more time to chat and sit in sessions (one of the great drawbacks of being a conference organizer!). A huge hat-tip to my colleagues in Europe who gave me a helping hand with all the planning and organization (you guys ROCK !!!) I'd also like to thank our dear friends at Citilab --> os debo una cena !!!. Last but not least, special thanks to Toni and Alina who deserve a round of applause for their help at the camp and their remarkable work in promoting the Mozilla project in Catalonia.

As in all conferences, there were a few hiccups (many of which, fortunately, went completely unnoticed) and there some things we obvisouly want to improve for next time (eg. did someone say bad coffee ??) I've prepared a short online survey I strongly encourage all of you who were in Barcelona to fill in. We want our next event to be even better so your feedback and suggestions are key ! You should be receiving an email this week with a link to the survey.

I won't elaborate more on the camp, rather, i'll point you to the following links that I think, summarise best this most unique weekend and what we accomplished as a community.
