Holy index card, Batman!

We had registrations pouring in all the way until 3pm yesterday before the seminar, ending up at a rather amazing 184 registrations in total from 64 different companies or organizations. With a few cancellations, I'd wager that we had around 190 people on the registrations list at some point. I have yet to see statistics about how many of the 184 actually showed up but even taking into consideration the usual no-show percentages for free-of-charge events, what we have is a large and growing community of software professionals interested in agile methods.

I won't try to do a braindump right now (Jan Wikholm did that already) because I really should be packing up stuff (I'm moving house this weekend). Instead, I'd just like to thank everyone who came--while I enjoy the seminars myself, it's nothing compared to that feeling of accomplishment when someone comes up to say "thank you" for making the seminar happen. Also, thanks to Vasco, Sebastian, and Joseph for entertaining the rest of us with your presentations, and thanks to Timo and Johanna from Reaktor for helping out with the arrangements with Kiasma.


I wonder what happened to the software people. 3GSM congress was on the Saint Valentine's day, Agile Finland Seminar was on Saint Patrick's. Are we moving towards the sober bachelors' world? :)
