Sounds like it's going to be an awesome time. We just started school here, so there is little chance I would be able to pull myself away from all of the tech issues that need to be taken care of this time of year. Maybe one day when I am retired I will be able to make it to a Hivefest. Pretty awesome that they are closing in on a decade though.
the timing is tricky for schools, luckily there's th streaming (I assume) so you can catch up with the sessions.
HF10!! Yeah, that sounds pretty amazing for next year. Who would have thought the community would have lasted this long
Yes, I will probably try to catch some of the streams if I can. I might have an issue with the time zone thing, but I can always try after the fact.
